Highlights
Outing Highlights
Cliffs, coves and a short coastline circuit
The route threads along the natural coastline of L'Ametlla de Mar, passing penya-segats (cliffs) and small beaches on a compact, discoverable stretch of sea.
Visit the Torrent de l'Pi lagoon and its Samaruc
The excursion includes a stop at the Torrent de l'Pi beach and its rare lagoon habitat, one of the few in the municipal area and home to the endangered fish known as the Samaruc.
Ready-to-go kayaks with local guidance
Marnatura supplies stable, self-bailing kayaks (single, double and family), paddles, lifejackets and a coastal map; boats are stable enough that no monitor or prior experience is required, and the activity ends with an aperitif.
