Mar Menor
What's the appeal?
The region of Murcia has more than 40 beaches which feature pretty much every water sport you can think of, as well as around 30 golf courses – which combined with the nearly three thousand hours of sunshine each year, make this an ideal destination for lovers of the outdoor lifestyle. The Mar Menor (“little sea”) is the name given to a 170km2 saltwater lagoon (Europe’s biggest) in the province of Murcia. There are two airports serving the region with around 30 flights a day between them from the UK making it more accessible than ever. The Region of Murcia International airport just 30 mins away from the shores of the Mar Menor, and Alicante Airport is about an hour away - both with a flight time from the UK of around 2.5 hours
