Yacht Club de Toulon at Anse Tabarly in Mourillon offers kayak and paddleboard rentals and lessons. Explore the shoreline from the water; beginners can ask for a suitable introductory session.
More about your visit
Hiring equipment suits independent practice under the club’s conditions. For a first attempt, a return after a long break or a group with mixed abilities, a lesson is generally more useful: the aim is to learn to move, return and respond when conditions change, not simply stand on a board. Explain your experience, whether children are coming and how much time you have. Equipment, the authorised area and the format should match the group’s actual abilities.
Wind can make returning to the starting point much harder, even when the water looks inviting close to shore. Follow the professional’s advice on timing, clothing, equipment and navigation limits. Do not improvise a route to a distant cove based on a distance seen on a map. Bring sun protection and place anything that needs to stay dry in a suitable container. Phones and keys should not sit loose on the equipment; organise this before launching.
Book your session before planning the rest of your day in Le Mourillon. If the weather forces a cancellation, you can walk around the neighbourhood, visit the market when it is open or choose a nearby attraction.
