The Marmenor is Europe's largest lagoon which maintains a warm sea temperature in whatever stage of the year with an average of 18 degrees. The Romans and Arabs built thermal baths around the coast and to this day people visit the area for the therapeutic properties of the bathing. There are also pockets of therapeutic mud which is sought after ( mainly by the Spanish ) to cover their bodies and bake in the sunshine which is very good for skin problems, rheumatism and arthritic conditions. It is a very amusing sight! The waters are rich in iodine and never get deeper than 7 metres and with an absence of tides it makes for a natural swimming pool and a haven for water sports such as jet skis, kite surfing, sailing boats and fishing. The warm crystal clear waters, shallow shore lines and beach inflatables attract many families in the summer months.
