The coastline beckons, offering you a walk that will soothe you with its beauty and calm. Equip yourself well and make the most of this mild season.
Swim
Are you cold and can’t bear to swim in the sea in the middle of winter? Here’s a tip: get yourself a wetsuit!
In fact, it’s warmer in the sea than outside. The water temperature is around 14°C, whereas the air temperature is much colder. What’s more, cold water improves blood circulation.
A good compromise for better health! Take your courage in both hands and swim a few laps to enjoy the Mediterranean undisturbed.
Paddleboarding

It’s well worth the effort, and you’ll soon be warmed by your paddling.
