La Manga del Mar Menor: see it to believe it

La Manga del Mar Menor means ‘the sleeve of the little sea’ and is a thin piece of land that divides a large natural lagoon called the Mar Menor from the Mediterranean. This area of the Costa Calida is an incredible and unique landscape of blue sea, sandy beaches and the lagoon, and with year round sunshine and a multitude of leisure activities available, it is easy to see why a holiday in La Manga del Mar Menor is so popular

The saltwater lagoon of Mar Menor, at 160km2, is huge and is a water sport enthusiast’s playground. Whether you are an expert or a beginner, the lagoon is an excellent place to have a go at jet skiing, sailing and windsurfing. Mar Menor is a safe spot for families with young children as the lagoon is shallow and deliciously warm – just like having a salty bath! The sun worshippers and beach bums among you will be spoilt for choice as sandy beaches pack both sides of the 13-mile long La Manga del Mar Menor peninsula.
