Be it an exquisite retreat or a family getaway, Costa Calida has the beach of your dreams. From popular to secluded beaches, from all-night parties to all-day siestas, from pristine sand to aquamarine waters, it is all here in Costa Calida, whatever you desire.

The Mar Menor, Europe´s largest lagoon, boasts clear warm therapeutic waters and a bevy of beaches. The suburb of Lo Pagan has two blissful beaches separated by a marina and a fishing harbour. A scenic promenade stretches to the end of these two beaches that connects them to the next resort town of Santiago de la Ribera. From the exclusive Royal Yacht club to the beautiful tranquil waters of its beaches, Santiago de la Ribera is a welcome respite from the daily stresses of urban living. Loz Alcazares has extensive beaches bordered by a four-kilometre long promenade. Inviting beach bars and restaurants line the beachfront.

Along the coast of the La Manga Strip, there are distinctly enticing Blue Flag beaches with powdery white sand. What is so special is that even in the height of the holiday season, the beaches never get jam-packed. The seemingly endless stretch of beaches is ideal for sunbathing, engaging in water sports and of course swimming. The relaxing, cool warm water in the summertime is irresistible.

In the protected Calblanque Regional Park, a secluded area of rugged coastlines and hills, one can find the best golden beaches vis-a-vis craggy cliffs and hidden coves.

The beaches at La Azohia, a picturesque fishing village nestled beneath hills at Southern Costa Calida, are a colourful mixture of ash-gray pebbles and fine sand. Puerto Mazarron has two sandy beaches bordered by marinas and promenades.

Levante Beach in the town of Aguilas is a Blue Flag awardee. It is a favourite destination because of its modern facilities. Hornillo Beach which stretches up to 200 metres at the edge of Agulas beckons with its radiant golden sand and crystal clear warm waters. The coast of Hornillo Beach affords one a wonderful view of the enchanting Island del Fraile, truly a sight to behold.

One has only to catch glimpses of these beaches in Costa Calida to realise that they are not only beautiful, each of them is distinctly unique. So, head off to the beach of your dreams.
