The Mar Menor is a large salt water lagoon usually 5 degrees warmer than the Mediterranean, it is the ideal location for water sports and very safe for swimming especially for children. The village has a marina and a market on Thursday mornings. A 5 km drive takes you to Los Alcazares which is an old fishing town with excellent shallow sandy beaches particularly safe for children as there are no tides or currents. Also come here for supermarkets, shops, restaurants and bars. Cabo de Palos (12km) has a lighthouse and a lovely old harbour well known for its fish restaurants. Los Belones (10 km) is also worth a visit with a very well stocked Bodega and some very good restaurants. The cities of Cartagena (20 km) and Murcia (30km) are an excellent day trip for their shops and architecture. La Manga Del Mar Menor (15 km) is the place to go for nightlife, shopping, activities and great beaches.
