More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun slides low over Medano Bay and the Sea of Cortez breathes warm across the water. On a SUP, the bay feels intentionally calm—the surf pushes respectably away from the shore and the famous granite of El Arco watches the traffic of boats and paddlers alike. A one-hour rental here starts on the sand with a short safety lesson, then moves into an in-water briefing before you set your own pace amid clear water and schools of color.

Go early for calm water
Morning hours usually offer the smoothest surface and fewer tour boats, ideal for beginners and families.
Wear a leash and life jacket
Even in calm water a leash keeps your board close; life jackets are provided and required for most operators.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
The bay’s marine life is fragile—apply sunscreen that won’t harm coral or fish and reapply after swimming.

You may only SUP inside the bay per port captain rules—do not attempt to paddle to Lands End without a guide.
