La Manga del mar menor
If there is one must-see and famous destination in the Region of Murcia, it is La Manga. This unique jewel in Spain is a sandbar stretching almost 20 kilometers, separating the Mar Menor from the Mediterranean Sea, creating perfect conditions for those seeking calmer, shallower waters as well as those who prefer more open seas. Without a doubt, this is the beach that offers the most leisure options with its wide variety of bars, supermarkets, and restaurants. But that’s not all; La Manga is also famous for its mud baths, known for their therapeutic and rejuvenating properties, and its extensive offer of water sports. Indeed, La Manga is the perfect combination of comfort, modernity, and natural beauty.
Percheles (Mazarrón)

This picturesque cove of 300 meters of golden sand and calm waters, without the presence of hotels and bars, invites you to immerse yourself in nature in its purest form. Here, you can experience extreme relaxation and a deep connection with the sea, the gentle sound of the waves, and the sea breeze wrapping around you while you enjoy this peaceful haven.
Calblanque beach
Another essential spot is the Calblanque Regional Park in Cartagena, known for its wild and untouched nature, perfect for spending the whole day and enjoying a picnic in a fascinating and tranquil environment, where the lack of nearby services preserves its natural beauty. These protected beaches have limited access, so to reach them, you need to leave your car in the parking lot and take a bus, but we guarantee it is worth it. Its protected beaches offer fine golden sand, crystal-clear waters surrounded by black rocks and desert vegetation, creating a true paradise for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. Moreover, some areas are nudist, providing an authentic experience in direct contact with nature. A perfect place to disconnect and enjoy tranquility with friends, family, or a partner.
Bolnuevo beach: one of the best beaches in Murcia
Bolnuevo, also known as the Enchanted City, is located near Mazarrón and offers a wide variety of options to enjoy the sea. If you prefer the beach, you can enjoy its sandy beach but also pebble beach along the promenade, where you’ll find beach bars and restaurants to enjoy a culinary experience by the sea. Additionally, you can marvel at the famous and impressive wind-sculpted clays over the years, adding a magical touch to the landscape.
