Scores are a mean of recent daily bests, so they describe what a spot is usually like for a beginner rather than what it is doing right now — open a spot for today's hourly forecast. And a score describes the water, not you: it cannot see rips, local hazards or your experience. Take a lesson, read the signage, ask locally.

Frequently asked questions.
Where is the best place to learn kayaking near Sant Martí d'Empúries?
Platja Sant Martí d'Empúries scores highest for beginner kayaking near Sant Martí d'Empúries, averaging 67 out of 100 — 1 km from the town centre. It is one of 10 spots within 25 km clearing the beginner threshold of 60.
What makes a spot beginner-friendly for kayaking?
4Shor scores every spot separately for each ability, so a beginner score is not a scaled-down expert score — it rewards the conditions a learner actually needs for kayaking, and penalises the ones that make a session unmanageable. A spot can score well for experts on the same day it scores badly for beginners.
How many beginner kayaking spots are there near Sant Martí d'Empúries?
10 within 25 km average 60 or better for beginner kayaking. A page only exists here when at least 3 spots clear that bar, so this is a shortlist rather than every spot in range — the full list is on the Sant Martí d'Empúries hub.
Does a good score mean it is safe for me to go?
No. The score describes the conditions, not you, your equipment or who you are with. It cannot see rips, local hazards, water quality or how your day is going. Treat it as a shortlist of where to look, then take a lesson, check local signage and ask someone who knows the beach.
