Cavanna Wind, Escuela de Vela

Cavanna Wind is a beachfront sailing school in Plaza Cavanna, beside the hotel of the same name, on the first stretch of La Manga. It offers windsurfing, dinghy and catamaran sailing courses on Mar Menor and hires out paddleboards and kayaks.

Learning where you can stand in the water

Windsurfing is the most-discussed activity. Beginners highlight that they can stand up in the water throughout the lesson on this shore, which feels reassuring, and that instructors are patient with adults and children. Several reviews come from families who enrolled their children.

Equipment hire

For independent outings, kayaks, paddleboards and sailing boats are available to hire. Isla del Ciervo is close to the beach, but ask how far you may go with hired equipment.

Opening hours

Open every day, mornings and afternoons. Card payment is accepted. To compare neighbouring schools, see boating and water sports in La Manga.
