As you can imagine, nautical activities are one of the attractions of a getaway or a holidays in the Mar Menor for the Murcia Region.
Furthermore, the special geographical characteristics of this enormous salt lagoon encourage all types of activities, both in the Mar Menor as in the adjacent waters of the Mediterranean coast with which it is separated by La Manga.
We were able to verify this in our recent getaway to the Mar Menor in which we were able to enjoy some of these activities, such as a sailing trip on the Mar Menor, also going out to the waters of the Mar Mayor, which is what the Mediterranean coast.
All the information in detail
Ferry from Los Alcázares to La Manga
Looking ahead to your trip to this coastal area of the Murcia, I will tell you that the easiest way to enjoy a boat trip on the Mar Menor is getting on the boat that crosses it every day from Los Alcázares to La Manga, to the port of Thomas Maestre.
The dates in which this boat provides daily service They run from the end of June to the beginning of September, with between four and five daily services in both directions.
El ferry from Los Alcázares to La Manga navigate through the widest area of the Mar Menor with a duration of 45 minutes, with schedules at 10, 12, 14 and 17 p.m. towards La Manga, and an additional schedule at 19 p.m. in July and August.
Su price It is 5 euros each way, that is, 10 euros round trip.
Boat excursions around Mar Menor
But you have a more playful option, that of a boat excursion on the Mar Menor.
Thus, leaving Los Alcázares, the ship will sail through said sea, crossing the canal next to the Tomás Maestre port, go out to the Mediterranean coast and take you to the surroundings of the Grosa Island, natural protection zone.
This maritime excursion It lasts about two hours, runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from the end of July to the beginning of September, and has a price of 13 euros.
Another excursion is the one that also from Los Alcazares takes you to islands of the Mar Menor, with the same duration and price.
Sailing trip through Mar Menor
As I mentioned before, another more exclusive alternative is to give a sailing trip on the Mar Menor in which you will also go out to Mediterranean coast to reach the vicinity of the Grosa Island.
That was the excursion we took on our trip, which lasted about four hours, and during which we enjoyed an almost calm sea.
The placidity of the sailing on a sailboat It is, without a doubt, one of the best ways to enjoy the attractions of the Mar Menor.
Furthermore, during the rodeo of the Grosa Island We were able to see the wealth of birds that this natural enclave has.
Other nautical activities
For your holidays in the Mar Menor, in addition to sailing by boat, you have other types of nautical activities that you can practice.
Thus, there are activity companies, such as El Pedruchillo Sailing School, with which you can practice canoeing o paddle surf, drive a water scooter, or ride a catamaran…or about a fun banana.
And during our trip we were also able to verify that the Mar Menor can be an excellent place to practice kitesurf, just as numerous practitioners of this sport did during the moments when the wind takes center stage.
Surely on your vacation you will find an ideal alternative for your tastes, from the quietest boat cruise through the Mar Menor to the most demanding kitesurf.
