About

Explore this spot in Puerto de Mazarrón. Popular location for swimming and paddling, supping and wind surfing. Puerto de Mazarrón is located on the coast of the Region of Murcia in southeastern Spain. The area boasts beautiful golden beaches, clear blue waters, and stunning landscapes that include rugged mountains and cliffs. The town has retained its authentic Spanish feel, with narrow streets, traditional buildings, and a charming main square. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops to explore, and the promenade that surrounds the beach is the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll. The surrounding countryside provides a stark contrast to the coastal areas, with a dramatic landscape that includes dry river beds and hills covered in scrubland. The sun shines almost every day of the year, making this an ideal destination for beach lovers, hikers, and anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

  • Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
  • Always swim with others or tell someone your plan
  • A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users

Frequently asked questions

Is this beach safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

When is the best time to swim here?

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
