Why sunset

The golden hour, from the sea

Looking for things to do in Sitges in the evening? This one starts as the day winds down: the sea softens, the light turns gold towards Terramar and the town glows behind you. It is the warmest, most relaxed hour for paddle boarding at Platja de la Riera Xica.

We meet at our base on Av. de la Mare de Déu de Montserrat, 62, in the quiet Vinyet–Terramar area. You pick up your board and gear and we all walk down together, about two minutes, 150 metres, to Platja de la Riera Xica, the beach right in front, between l'Estanyol and Terramar on the residential side of Sitges, away from the busy town centre. From there we paddle out into calm, open water. Watching the Sitges sunset from the sea, with golden light spilling over Terramar and the Garraf coastline, is the most photogenic moment of the day, and that is exactly why our sunset photos look the way they do.

Never stood on a board before? Even better. The evening sea is usually gentle, so sunset is just as beginner friendly as sunrise. A certified local guide reads the conditions, keeps the group small and has everyone steady on the board within minutes.

From the base to the golden hour, step by step and at your own pace.

A sunset paddle boarding session in Sitges starts at our base on Av. de la Mare de Déu de Montserrat, 62, in the early evening.
