The Mazarron coast forms part of the Costa Calida (the warm coast). In some parts, the mountains go right down to the sea, providing breathtaking panoramas but also forming small, often sandy and secluded coves. There are numerous beaches, some shingle, some rocky but mainly sandy including the immense beaches near the port, Bahia and Bolneuvo.
The sea is usually around 5 degrees warmer due to the unique micro climate that Mazarron enjoys. There are two reasons for this; one is the mountain range which surrounds the area and secondly the cooler water currents which enter the Mediterranean from the Atlantic are deflected away from the coastline, leaving the water temperature unaffected and actually permitting diving all year around. The water is usually clear and the depth of visibility in many places is often 25-30 metres. Rocky outcrops provide incredible underwater scenery and apart from diving, snorkelling is extremely popular as well.
Windsurfing, sailing, diving, whatever your pleasure, Mazarronīs coast provides for all.
Leisure activities include fishing, water-sking, canoeing, jet-sking and windsurfing. Also horse riding, cycling, and golf, there being 18 golf courses in the area including the world renown La Manga courses.
High season: July, August, September and Easter.
