More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Mediterranean flattens into a long, slow blue at Platja de Llevant, and for two hours the sea feels less like background and more like a playground that dares you to move differently. You step from warm sand into waist-high water, strap into a monofin and tail, and the instructors guide you through the basic motions—duck entry, dolphin kick—until your body learns a new rhythm.
