\"kayak
Kayak<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An excellent solution for those wanting to engage in turtle spotting is renting a pedal boat or kayak<\/strong>. There are kiosks on the promenade where you can rent them for \u20ac10\/h. An hour should be more than enough to successfully spot turtles, since they usually rest on the seabed. Tip: the bottom of the bay is sandy; if you notice a dark spot it is most likely a turtle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
