The beautiful beach of Playa de Famara is a surf paradise tucked away in Europe on the coast of Lanzarote. With a great ground swell and good winds throughout the year, the summer months, particularly July, provide calmer waters so it’s a good location to start out if you’re new to the sport. Before you go, check out the local surf stats at Magic Seaweed to find the optimal conditions to suit you.

While Brisbane in Australia plays host to a thriving surf community, the main pull of the waters here is the sensational scuba diving. There’s an abundance of amazing wildlife to watch as you glide under the waves. However, the highlight has to be diving the HMAS Brisbane, a sunken navy ship off the coast of the city.
08 – Kayaking at Lake Tahoe

While kayaking is often associated with battling tough rapids, these great little boats can be enjoyed in a much less extreme way. Paddling the serene surroundings of Lake Tahoe in California is a great way to get out on the water when you need to take some time out from your busy schedule.

The beautiful bay draws in sailing enthusiasts every day, making San Diego a maritime town in its own right. While there are many yachts to be found casually cruising the coastline, if you need something a bit more extreme there are few things more exhilarating than skimming across the water at high speed in power boat.

The crystal blue waters of the Aegean Sea surrounding the Greek island of Rhodes provide the perfect site for a spot of stylish water skiing. The calmer waves of the east of the island are the best place to take to the sea and soar through the water while you absorb all the ancient beauty of the island.
