The fact is that one of the key activities on the beach is diving. Here you can scuba dive not only as a professional, but also a beginner, as there are several companies along the coast engaged in diving and diver training. Take advantage.
It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale.
