01Wide range of water sports
The variety of water sports available will satisfy any appetite you have for adventure and discovery, because there's a whole array of possibilities: parasailing, waterskiing, standup paddleboarding, kayaking, etcetera… If you feel like something more leisurely, you could explore the scenery from the water in a pedal boat. Or you could hop aboard one of the glass-bottom boats that take passengers on round trips from Palmanova to Magaluf and back, to give one example. If you like, there's also the opportunity to go sailing. And if you want to moor your own boat in Palmanova that's not a problem. By the beach Es Carregador, you'll find the Club Nàutic Palmanova marina, which has about 80 moorings.
