If you don't feel like exploring, there are plenty of local beaches to suit everyone's taste. Beaches at or near Puerto de Mazarron are busier (by Mazarrón standards) but are close to shops, bars, and restaurants. Those further out are quieter and can be very private giving some the opportunity of an all over tan.

A beautiful cove with no facilities. Directions: Take the road from the roundabout at the end of the RM3 for Aguilas, and after a few miles see a turning left for Canadas de Gallego. Go through Canadas de Gallego, and the road for Perchelles bears to the left. Stay on what seems to be the most significant road through tomato plantations. After a slight hill at the brow the road turns to gravel. A few yards further and you are in the car park.
