active people don't spend their whole time laying on the beach

You may enjoy the most uncommon sports. In Montaña Del Mar and its surroundings you can practice almost all of them. Water sports, of course, like sailing, water-skiing, wind-surfing, and scuba-diving are only a few of them. But you may like the countryside, where you can enjoy hikes, horseback-ridding, tennis, mountain-biking, climbing, hang-gliding, parachute jumps, ice-skating. But why should we name them further? Almost every sport imaginable is available. And if you would like to learn how to play a sport, wind-surfing or playing tennis for example, why don't you use your vacation to learn it? There are fine instructors available to you and the gear can be rented. You might go back home as fit as an athlete.
