The early morning calm at Arenal is particularly perfect for beginners. Boards and lessons are available from operators on Arenal beach and at the port, with prices starting from about €10/hour. ## Where to SUP in Jávea Arenal beach offers the calmest water and easiest launching. From the port you can paddle into the marina and along the rocky shore. Cala Granadella is more advanced but spectacular. ## Lessons and rentals 1-hour beginner lessons cost €25–€40 with board and paddle included. Rental rates from €10/hour or €40/day. Most operators provide leashes and basic safety briefing. ## SUP yoga and tours Specialised operators offer SUP yoga at sunrise and guided SUP tours along the coast to the calas – a great way to explore the coastline at a relaxed pace. ## When to go Mornings are best – the water is calmest, the light is most beautiful, and the wind has not yet picked up. Avoid windy afternoons, particularly in spring and autumn. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is SUP easy for beginners? ### How much does SUP cost? ### Where can I learn? ### Can children SUP? ### Do I need to know how to swim? ## More about activities & tours [ ### Boat trips in Jávea Discover Jávea's cliff-lined coast and hidden coves from the water – the best way to see the Costa Blanca.
