Lovely fishing marina. Ideal place to visit for Scuba diving lessons or excursions. Some great restaurants on the harbourside catering for all tastes, with lovely fresh seafood. Some of the small beaches in the area are wonderful for snorkelling. Nearby Cala Reona is great for sunbathing, swimming, paddle boarding hiring pedalos, also has a great beach bar.

Great beach, on the Med just north of the Mar Menor. Couple of great beach bars serving fresh sardines, paellas and tapas - one of our favourite beaches around 25 mins from the apartment

Another great place for a full day out. Around 40 minutes drive away and has some great beaches particularly on the far side of the marina heading towards Aguila. The Marina has lovely bars and restaurants and a great atmosphere to relax after a day on the beach. Could combine the day out with a trip to the Cabo Tinoso gun instalments between Cartagena and Mazarron.
