With Malta's beautiful coastline and numerous hidden coves, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) are fantastic ways to explore the islands. Many of Malta's secluded beaches and caves can only be reached by boat, making paddling an excellent choice for discovering the archipelago's hidden gems. Whether exploring the natural bays of Gozo or paddling around the historic Grand Harbour, there are countless opportunities for adventure on the water.

Surfing

Malta may not have the consistent swells of the Atlantic, but the island still gets some excellent waves, particularly in the winter months when midwinter winds bring chest-to-head-high waves to the coastline. The main surf spot is at Għajn Tuffieħa, which is home to Malta's only surf school and offers surprisingly consistent surf during the off-season. Adventurous surfers can explore the island's less-traveled coves and shore breaks, which remain largely undiscovered and hold potential for new surf spots.
