The Water’s Just Fine – Kayaking in San Diego
If you want to add a little sun, water and exploration to your San Diego vacation, then consider renting a kayak and discovering what the Pacific Ocean is willing to share.
Kayaking is a great way to explore the bays and coves of San Diego. It provides light exercise but is not overly difficult even for children and seniors. Most kayaking newbies quickly get the hang of paddling, and find the ocean relatively calm and safe after pushing through the breakers.
Kayaking is a wonderful activity for individuals, couples and the whole family, especially near the coves where sea lions often lounge on the rocks. Kayakers may also see seals up close and dolphins and whales in the distance. Tandem kayaks are also popular for couples or a parent and child.
If you’ve never kayaked before or want an educational adventure, consider booking a kayak tour.
