Stand up paddleboarding offers a different way to experience the sea, moving slowly across the water and observing the coastline from your board. At Santapomata, it is an activity worth trying during your holiday, also as a way to alternate relaxing hours on the beach with a more dynamic experience.
SUP at Rocchette beach- Camping Village Santapomata
Discovering SUP during a seaside holiday
SUP consists of moving across the water while standing on a board and using a paddle. Once you have found the right balance, you can move calmly and gradually away from the shore.
There is no need to turn the experience into a particularly demanding activity. For first-timers, even a short outing close to the coast can be enough to become familiar with the board, paddle and basic movements. The sea thus becomes a space to explore, not simply a place to swim.
Starting slowly and finding your balance
The first few times, it is important to progress gradually. You can begin on your knees to understand how to distribute your weight and use the paddle, then move to a standing position once you feel more confident.
Looking ahead and making smooth, regular movements helps maintain balance. It is also important to choose sea conditions that are appropriate for your level and always follow the instructions provided by the rental staff. Directly on Santapomata beach, SUP and canoe rental is available, allowing you to try the activity without having to bring your own equipment.
Seeing Le Rocchette from the sea
One of the most interesting aspects of SUP is the change in perspective. Moving away from the shoreline allows you to observe the beach, vegetation and the Le Rocchette headland directly from the water.
The slow pace makes it possible to enjoy the landscape without rushing, stopping whenever necessary and alternating short stretches of paddling with moments of rest. Camping Village Santapomata has direct access to Le Rocchette beach, making it easy to include a SUP outing in your day without organising additional transfers.
Alternating SUP and relaxation on the beach
There is no need to dedicate an entire day to stand up paddleboarding. The activity can easily fit between a swim and a few hours of relaxation, choosing the most suitable time according to sea conditions. A morning can begin with a short paddleboarding session and continue on Le Rocchette beach, or SUP can simply become one of the different experiences to try during the holiday.
At Santapomata, canoes and pedal boats are also available, along with other sports and outdoor activities. SUP is therefore a simple way to add something different to a classic day by the sea. Paddling in front of Le Rocchette means seeing the coastline from a new perspective and experiencing the sea more directly.
