El Faro is situated minutes from the wide sandy Puerto Rey / Vera Playa beach situated between the old fishing port and marina of Garrucha with its own Blue Flag beach and excellent fish restaurants, and the old fishing village of Villaricos. Nearby is the lovely Moorish hill top town of Mojacar, with pretty cobbled lanes,shops, tapas bars and restaurants. This is a must to visit, together with Mojacar Playa with its 9km of sandy beaches, bars, restaurants, Commercial centre and various summer beach activities. Inland is the historic town of Vera with its old buildings, extensive Saturday market, bullring, cafes and restaurants.

Opposite El Faro is a new sports facility opened in 2006, with Golf Driving range, tennis,paddle-tennis, mini and crazy golf, gymnasium, restaurant, and cafe/ snack bar.
