La Cala del Moral is the dark sand beach with fishing boats to the west of Rincón de la Victoria. Its eastern end finishes at a rock groyne and the cliffs of El Cantal, which mark the start of the classic coastal paddling route: about 2 km of cliffs with karst formations, and 1 km from the Tesoro and Victoria caves. The spot is on the sand at the eastern end of the beach, with the car park behind. It is a wide and open beach, with chop when it is windy. There is no information regarding access to the caves on a SUP: ask the school in Rincón before paddling towards them. Hazards and rules: the groyne and the cliffs are made of rocks and the sea breaks against them; with Terral the wind blows offshore and takes you away from the shore. You cannot navigate with a board in the buoyed swimming area: use the marked channels. Forecasts are checked with ARPEGE, ECMWF and ICON.
