Sea walking, known in France as longe-côte, means walking in the sea, immersed to the waist or chest, along the shoreline. This gentle, sociable activity can be practised all year round, alone or with a club. Discover the HANA Outdoors sea walking selection.
The benefits
The water’s resistance works the whole body, while buoyancy takes weight off the joints. Sea walking exercises the heart, strengthens the muscles and improves balance, at a pace everyone can adapt to their fitness.
Getting equipped
Outside summer, a wetsuit is essential to protect yourself from the cold. Water shoes protect your feet from stones and shells. A sea walking paddle can be used to work the upper body harder.
Practise safely
Ideally practise in a group or with a supervised club, on a lifeguarded beach where possible. Check the tide, swell and currents, stay at a depth where you can touch the bottom and get out of the water at the first signs of cold.
After the session
Rinse your equipment in fresh water and dry it in the shade. To carry your belongings, discover our bags and our waterproof pouches.
