The golden sandy beaches of Los Alcazares have been awarded the coveted blue flag of excellence and the warm water of the Mar Menor makes bathing a delight. There is ample provision of showers, toilets, first aid, rescue services and facilities for the disabled. Within a short distance from the town you can take your pick from the rest of the Costa Calida's 250km of beaches and coves. Around 50km of those are on the Mar Menor itself. The rest are on the Mediterranean. Many beaches offer a range of watersports and other activities whilst others provide secluded tranquility, some are conservation areas designated as national or regional parks of outstanding natural beauty. Don't worry if you forgot to bring your swimming costume, one or two nearby beaches are designated as naturist beaches!
