The beaches in the Costa Calida are some of the most beautiful and wide ranging in Spain. Whether you like miles of deserted, unspoilt golden sand with mountain backdrops or you prefer beaches closer to bars and restaurants, Murcia has every option. The many miles of beaches combined with the fact many beaches are not developed, means that even in the height of summer you can find an almost deserted beach.

Polaris World Beach Club

The Polaris World Beach Club will be based at the end of the La Manga peninsula, with its own beach onto the Mar Menor sea. There will be transport by boat to the beach club and the facilities will include tennis courts, water-sports, changing facilities and a bar/cafe.

In addition to the Beach Club, there are numerous beaches to explore in the region.

Mar Menor Beaches

The ‘Mar Menor’ is one of the largest inland lagoons in Europe, creating miles and miles of beaches in addition to the Mediterranean coast. The Mar Menor is about 12 miles long by 6 miles wide and it is very shallow and calm. It is saltwater and because it is shallow it warms up quickly and in the summer the water is a tropical temperature. The beaches around the Mar Menor have lots of play areas and are perfect for families or for those who want to be close to cafes or shops.

Calblanque Nature Reserve

For those that like to get away from it all, Calblanque is the perfect place. It is a nature reserve with no buildings or development and it has beautiful long sandy beaches. There is a walking trail along the coast, good snorkelling and sometimes it can be good for surfing and boogie boarding too. As there are no bars or restaurants or sun-loungers, a picnic and a parasol are good things to take for a day out.

Bolnuevo and Mazarron

The coastline around Condado de Alhama resort is very beautiful with a wide variety of beaches, from little coves to wide open sandy stretches. The beach at the Port of Mazarron is popular in summer with the Spanish, due to its calm waters and proximity to bars and restaurants along the promenade.

Bol Nuevo is the closest beach to Condado de Alhama. Bol Nuevo is a traditional Spanish fishing village, with a few restaurants and bars and a very large, unspoilt beach. Bol Nuevo also has climbing frames and volleyball nets.

In between Bol Nuevo and Mazarron there are lot of bays to explore, including some with play areas for children, others good for snorkelling and some which are quiet all year round.
