Kayak and Paddleboard

Multiple departure points: Port Gallice, Plage de la Salis, Plage de la Garoupe

Exploring Cap d'Antibes by kayak or stand-up paddleboard is one of the most rewarding ways to experience the peninsula's coastline. From the water, you gain a perspective impossible from land: hidden caves, rocky arches, and secluded coves reveal themselves.

Several operators offer rentals and guided tours. Blue Drop, based at Port Gallice, runs kayak and paddleboard excursions along the western coastline. The sailing club on Plage de la Salis rents paddleboards and kayaks by the hour. Prices are typically 15 to 25 euros per hour.

The most popular route follows the eastern coast from La Salis toward Port de l'Olivette. For a longer adventure, paddling around the southern tip takes roughly two hours.

Conseils pratiques

  • Paddle from Plage des Ondes at sunset for the most spectacular views of the Esterel mountains turning red.
  • Rent from Blue Drop at Port Gallice for the western coast, or the sailing club at La Salis for the eastern coast.
