La Manga del Mar Menor

La Manga del Mar Menor:

La Manga is a narrow piece of land with a width that varies between 200 m and 1 and a half km and is described by the tourist board as “A paradise between two seas”. It is the narrow strip of land that separates the ‘two seas’ of the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean for about 20 kilometres.   

La Manga is famous for its clean air and the beautiful Mar Menor whose very salty water is good for rheumatism and skin complaints.   

The choice of beaches is almost endless, from the wild dunes to the south, to the gently sloping safe beaches of the Mar Menor. Being shallow, it is often a little warmer than the Mediterranean.   

La Manga has a fine sports harbour where you can hire all manner of water-sports equipment and being completely flat, La Manga is very easy to get about for walkers and cyclists alike.

There are many small boutiques , as well as supermarkets,   a wide choice of banks and a thriving Sunday market.   

All along the 20 kilometre strip there are many excellent restaurants serving both local cuisine and international fayre.
