Paddleboarding in Torremolinos

Torremolinos beaches almost always wake up to a calm sea, and that first stretch of the day is gold for paddleboarding: flat water, soft light and the whole bay to yourself. We run beginner lessons and guided tours off Playamar and the northern stretch of the coast, with the shore always close and the instructor watching every board.

It is the perfect activity if you are staying in Torremolinos or Benalmádena: no car, no extreme early starts and no previous experience needed. Within one session you are paddling standing up. For groups, birthdays or families with kids we set up private outings with several boards and an adapted pace.

When to do paddleboarding in Torremolinos

Paddleboarding in Torremolinos works all year round: summer mornings are almost guaranteed calm, and in winter we pick the light-wind days. If a strong westerly blows, we turn it into a good surf day or another sport, or move the session.

Paddleboarding routes in Torremolinos

The classic tour runs along the Playamar shoreline with the Mijas mountains behind and the Bay of Málaga opening ahead. We paddle parallel to the shore, with stops to rest and swim. On very calm days we stretch north towards the beach bars and cruise back.

How you progress with us

We start kneeling to build stability, and within minutes most people are paddling standing up. Then we work on turning, efficient stroke and balance over small boat wakes. It is the watersport with the friendliest learning curve: guaranteed success on day one.
