The best beaches in Puerto de Mazarrón, Mazarrón — where to swim, sunbathe and find a chiringuito, with the local lowdown.
Beyond Bolnuevo lies a string of wild, undeveloped coves — Percheles, Covaticas, Amarilla, Cueva de Lobos — reached by track and offering crystal water and near-solitude for those who make the trip.
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.
Playa de la Isla, Puerto de Mazarrón
A central beach named for the little islet just offshore — sheltered, sandy and popular, backed by a promenade of restaurants. Blue Flag.
Playa del Alamillo, Puerto de Mazarrón
A wide, family-friendly Blue Flag beach just west of the centre, with a park and promenade behind it — plenty of space, gentle water and good facilities.
Paseo Marítimo, Puerto de Mazarrón
The main town beach, right on the promenade in the heart of the port — dark golden sand, calm water and every bar and shop a step away. The easy, central choice.
