Beaches
La Torre Golf Resort is situated only 15 minutes, from the coast and the salt lagoon of the Mar Menor or the 'little sea', being the largest natural saltwater lagoon in Europe, with its natural breakwater, known as The Manga Strip with the Med on one side and the lagoon on the other. Its safe warm (up to 30 degrees centrigrade in the summer!) and shallow waters, with miles of gorgeous beaches, makes it the perfect place to swim or enjoy water sports.

The Mar Menor has long promenades with palm trees, marinas and plenty of international bars and restaurants to relax. The mud of the Mar Menor is reputedly known for its richness in minerals and has health giving properties, particularly to relieve rheumatic arthritis and skin conditions. Along the Southern Coast are more beaches to enjoy and coves for you to explore including the protected and secluded beaches of Callblanque. Many of the beaches have gained the 'blue flag' and are very safe for families. The clear, clean water and rocky alcoves also attracts sports enthusiasts and divers to the area.

Watersports
Murcia offers a wide choice of watersports activities to suit everyone. The shallow waters of the Mar Menor are ideal for beginners and the Med itself is beckoning for the more experienced sailor. Windsurfers will love La Mota beach, a completely natural course for speed, taking advantage of the wind without taking any risks of the sea. Along the coast there are extensive beaches used for diving - all situated in the Salinas Regional Park.
