Latest reviews on Murcia's beaches

Playa Paraiso
8 Kai Gullerud

This tranquil village offers a stunning beach, perfect for a calming day by the sea. The atmosphere is peaceful and the views are breathtaking. It's a great spot to relax and unwind.

Playa de las Delicias
8 Santiago Pacheco Paz

That place is truly remarkable - it's secluded and peaceful.

Manzanares Beach
8 Amy Jones

This beach is far from the ideal destination for a relaxing getaway. The sand is uncomfortable and the waters shallow, while the seas are relatively calm within the lagoon. There are a few cafes and a long promenade, but overall it's a far cry from a tranquil spot.

Playa de el Mojon
6 Johnathan Muro

This public beach was great, but parking was limited near the road. Unfortunately we didn't spot any public bathrooms, but there was a life guard tower. The beach had more rocks than sand, but the black sand and pebbles still made it enjoyable.

Playa Mar de Cristal
8 John S

This place is a lovely place with a beautiful view, making it an ideal spot for families. The sand is a warm, inviting brown color, adding to the charm of the area.

Playa El Arenal
6 Алина Захарова

A great spot for a chill getaway! We hopped off the last bus stop with no car info, but that didn't stop us from having a blast. The ocean was warm and inviting, and there were plenty of cafes, shops and other amenities. The water was crystal clear - I recommend it!
