Sea adventures in Gibraltar
Are you visiting Gibraltar to get married & looking for activities on the rock? There are so many great options in Gibraltar to keep you and the family entertained whilst here for your wedding day. Gibraltar is surrounded by sea, the bay of Gibraltar on the west & the Mediterranean on the east side. We have glorious weather & is a perfect destination for a wedding, in the summer we reach 30 degrees celcius and have minimal rain. Here are some of our favourite water activities when you visit.
Stand up paddle at Sandy Bay
Sandy Bay is a glorious hidden gem in Gibraltar, the best beach by far but very difficult to access. If you are mobile and able, visit the beach for stand up paddle boarding where you can rent boards for 10£. You require little experience & can float on the water and admire the beautiful rock. If you are strong, stand on the board explore the waters and caves of Gibraltar.
Yacht charter
Hire a yacht for the day. Hour Weddings can organise a boat to leave the Ocean Village Marina (contact us on info@hourweddings.com - we have some fab prices.) There arent many boats available in Gibraltar, but those who do offer this service will start in the North and travel into the Bay, where you are surrounded by dolphins & views of Africa.
A good old swim
Jump into the water at Rosia Bay, once again difficult access but for those who are able to walk, fantastic green and transparent waters, small beaches is a gorgeous way to bathe and enjoy Gibraltar (and its free!) There are also free pools in this area for those who do not like the sea. This is also a great spot to take wedding photos in Gibraltar.
Dolphin Safari
The dolphins of Gibraltar swim in the bay and 99% of the time, dolphin safaris spot large groups of majestic bottlenose dolphins in the bay. It is a pleasant ride out into the sea and not too choppy. The trip costs around 25£ - we have discounts for all of our clients.
