Playa de Bahía, Puerto de Mazarrón
A long, sandy beach along the eastern seafront of the port, backed by the Bahía promenade — quieter than the central beaches, with an easy, local feel.
A long, golden Blue Flag beach beside the famous eroded rocks at Bolnuevo, a few minutes west of the port — sweeping sand, shallow water and beach bars. The pick for a full day out.

The working marina and fishing harbour at the heart of the port — around 200 berths, a yacht club, dive and watersports bases, and a strip of waterfront bars and seafood restaurants.
A wetland where the Moreras watercourse meets the sea behind Bolnuevo — a protected haven for flamingos and migrating birds, with the rugged Sierra de las Moreras rising behind.
A restored 16th-century coastal watchtower on the seafront, built to warn of Barbary pirates and now a small exhibition space — the landmark that anchors the old port.
