Scuba
diving
For diving enthusiasts, the Hormigas Islands
near Cabo de Palos have been declared a Marine
Reserve due to their exceptional beauty and the
conservation of the sea floor, but they are also
acknowledged by scuba divers as being one of
Spain’s premier dive sites. There are dive
centres along the Costa Calida and Costa Blanca
Coasts at Mazzaron, Aguilas, due to the large
number of unfortunate ships that have come to
grief in the rocky waters around the area.
Other
Water sports
The
shallow waters and warm winds of the Mar
Menor make it ideal for both Windsurfing
and Kite boarding, both of which can be
hired from various shops and schools along
the Mar Menor shoreline. Jet skiing is
also very popular and these can also be
hired from ABC La Manga sports centre.
Pedallos can be hired from the centre of
Los Alcazares.
Water
Park
Aquapolis Fun Park near Torrevieja, open from
15th June to 15th September, is an excellent
fun day out for all the family, providing a welcome
opportunity to do some serious cooling off during
the height of the summer when the mercury hits
the top of the glass in the thermometer.
Mar
Menor Ferry
Between 15th June-15th September, the Mar Menor
Ferry picks up from the pier in the centre of
town and visits other towns and the islands of
the Mar Menor, at which you can stop off and
enjoy a delicious lunch of freshly caught and
barbecued sardines.
