2. Bring sunscreen, water, and a hat.
3. If you rent without a captain, ask them to explain the anchorage areas and the Natural Park regulations.
4. Book in advance during high season.

1. Pick up the boat at the port and receive a briefing on how to operate it and the safety rules.
2. Sail south along the coast of Mojácar.
3. Anchor in a cove to swim and snorkel.
