History
Sitges has long been a Catalan seaside town with a lively cultural scene and modernist architecture; the coastline has supported fishing and small-scale maritime activity for centuries.
Conservation
Posidonia meadows are ecologically important; avoid anchoring on seagrass, keep distance from nesting birds, and follow leave-no-trace principles.
Check wind and swell
Mediterranean conditions can feel calm from shore but change with sea breeze; choose mornings for lighter winds.
Wear grippy footwear
Rocky launch spots and shore breaks are easier with water shoes or sandals that protect toes and offer traction.
Protect against sun
Reflection off water intensifies sun exposure—use SPF, a brimmed hat, and a long-sleeve sun shirt.
Bring a dry bag for camera
A small dry bag keeps your phone and a compact camera safe for low-angle shots from the kayak.
Personal flotation device (PFD)
A properly fitted PFD is mandatory for safety and is typically provided by the operator.
Water shoes
Protect feet on rocky launches and provide grip when landing on pebbled coves.
