Beach Sprint Rowing in Alicante

Written By Beach Sprint Academy

If you’re passionate about coastal rowing, there’s no better place to experience it than Beach Sprint Academy (BSA) in Torrevieja, Alicante. Set against the stunning Mediterranean coastline, BSA has become a hub for athletes from around the world who want to refine their skills, embrace the challenge of variable sea conditions, and enjoy the perfect balance of sport and lifestyle.

What is Beach Sprint Rowing?

Beach Sprint Rowing is one of the fastest-growing forms of rowing — a dynamic, adrenaline-fueled version of the sport that starts on the beach, hits the open water, and finishes with a sprint back up the sand. It’s an exciting test of speed, agility, and adaptability. The sport will debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, and Alicante’s coast offers the ideal conditions for training ahead of this new era in rowing.

Why Alicante is Perfect for Beach Sprint Training

Alicante’s coastline is famous for its year-round sunshine, warm waters, and reliable sea conditions. Unlike other parts of Europe where weather can be unpredictable, the Mediterranean offers consistency — a vital factor when you need to train daily without disruption.

The Torrevieja coastline delivers the perfect mix of calm and challenging days, allowing athletes to experience everything from flat-water technical sessions to rough-water mastery. It’s the perfect natural training ground to develop true coastal rowing confidence.

  • 🏠 Complete Experience: We cater to both elite athletes and recreational rowers. Training packages include coaching, equipment, accommodation, and local experiences — from beachside dining to exploring Alicante’s culture.

A Hub for International Rowing

In the past year, BSA has welcomed national teams from Great Britain, the USA, New Zealand, and Japan, as well as countless club crews and masters rowers. They come not only for the training but for the community. The academy fosters a shared passion for the sport — a place where athletes push limits, form friendships, and prepare for major international regattas.

Train, Compete, and Experience Alicante

Beyond training, Alicante offers the perfect lifestyle balance. From morning sessions on the water to sunset walks through Torrevieja’s marina, life here feels both inspiring and restorative.
