Explore a quieter stretch of the Mar Menor beside La Hita's protected coastal landscape.
Los Alcázares
Los Alcázares is one of the main towns on the Mar Menor and is built around the appeal of the lagoon itself. Its long seafront promenade, shallow-water beaches and flat, easy-going layout make it particularly well suited to families, walkers and travellers looking for a straightforward coastal base rather than a dramatic historic town.
The atmosphere is generally relaxed and practical. Days here tend to revolve around beach time, gentle evening walks, watersports and the convenience of having cafés, shops and accommodation close to the shore. It may not have the monumental heritage of Cartagena or Murcia, but for a simple Mar Menor stay, Los Alcázares does what it needs to do very well.
