 The golden sandy beaches of Los Alcazares have been awarded the coveted blue flag of excellence and the warm water of the Mar Menor makes bathing a delight. There is ample provision of showers, toilets, first aid, rescue services and facilities for the disabled. Within a short distance from the town you can take your pick from the rest of the Costa Calida's 250km of beaches and coves. Around 50km of those are on the Mar Menor itself. The rest are on the Mediterranean. Many beaches offer a range of watersports and other activities whilst others provide secluded tranquility, some are conservation areas designated as national or regional parks of outstanding natural beauty. Don't worry if you forgot to bring your swimming costume, one or two nearby beaches are designated as naturist beaches!

La Manga del Mar Menor

 is the 22 kilometre long strip of land which separates the Mar Menor from the Mediterranean. Truly situated between two seas, its miles of sandy beaches are a magnet for sun seeking toursits who arrive in droves throughout the summer. La Manga's rows of high-rise hotels and apartment blocks make it easily visible across the Mar Menor from Los-Alcazares. Visitors get to choose between the calm, warm waters of the Mar Menor and the cooler, less placid waters of the Mediterranean. Watersports centres proliferate on the many Mar Menor beaches, but watch out for bathing warnings on the Mediterranean side where there can be invisible undercurrents. Good food and entertainment can be found all along the strip which also has a plentiful supply of supermarkets and souvenir shops.

Road access to and from La Manga is only possible from the south. The northern end is not connected to the mainland. Cabo de Palos is a small fishing town on the headland near the start of the La Manga strip. Its famed fish restaurants, historic lighthouse and Sunday street market make it well worth a visit.

A few kilometres south of La Manga at Los Belones, lies the La Manga Club, almost a village in it's own right. It offers, amongst other things, a four star hotel, casino, golf courses and other sports installations. The village of Los Belones itself has some interesting shops and restaurants
