Diving, Sailing, Kitesurf, Windsurf
The Mar Menor, due to its calmness, its cleanliness and the favourable climate, is the best scenario to practice water sports safely. Diving under the waters of the Murcia coast may be as interesting for beginners as for experts. It has one of the most important ecosystems in Spain, besides a boat cemetery. The most relevant diving points are: Punta de Algas, Carbonero, Piedras Blancas, Cabo de Palos, Islas Hormigas, La Laja, El Farallσn, Bajo de Fuera, Bajo el Mosquito, Bajo de Dentro, Bajo de Piles y Naranjito. The Mar Menor is also the ideal place to learn sailing, as it is only 7 metres deep and, as it is part of a microclimate, the water is always warm. It is possible to sail 365 days a year and on any kind of craft, furthermore, latin sail yacht races are still practiced. For kitesurf lovers there are some very appropriate spots like: La Llana, with northern and eastern winds; Los Molinos, very suitable for freestyle; Los Narejos, with south-western wind, ideal for freeriders, and Calblanque, located in the middle of a natural park by the Mediterranean sea.
