Fantastic experience: It's a picturesque and very beautiful place. I don't know how it will be for swimming in summer, but it is close to a large parking area for motorhomes as well. There is a lovely promenade along the entire river.

Fantastic experience: Very nice place, with shaded grass, benches if it's not too crowded, very fun sliding down like a slide, cool water, a large parking lot nearby, the area has vegetation from the Segura river, if you want to have a fun time, wear your old clothes and old shoes and jump in the water.

Negative experience: There are no restrooms, the water has a color that doesn't make you want to get in at all, and although the tourism website of Murcia indicates that dogs are allowed, upon arrival there is a sign that says they are banned, a wasted trip.

Negative experience: Me parece absurdo que no pueda ir con mi mascota cuando hay gente allí con cerveza y comida e incluso botellas de plástico dentro del agua . No volveré ya que no se admiten mascotas EN UN RÍO, increíble.

Positive experience: Buen sitio para refrescarse en pleno casco urbano del municipio. Tiene fácil acceso, y hay un parking bastante amplio a 50 metros. Cuenta con zona de césped artificial para poder tomar el sol y dejar las cosas, así como diferentes bancos para poder sentarse. El agua no está excesivamente limpia, pero es normal dada la cercanía del azud de ojos. Es una buena alternativa al típico baño en piscina y en un lugar privilegiado.

Positive experience: Faltaría mejorar el acceso al agua, por lo demás está muy refrescante el agua y tienes tú zona de picnic y sombraje con césped artificial. No apto para todos los pies (hay piedras grandes en el río) Zona de pícnic: Tiene mucho sombraje y hay bancos de madera

Jose Miguel Rojo Vigueras 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Siendo realistas : el agua huele a pozo , el fondo está lleno de fango , piedras y moho, no hay arena , es tierra , hay muchos mosquitos y cuando bajas la cuesta al fondo hay una zona muy peligrosa donde hay cañas y maleza. También hay que destacar que para bañarte y tomar el sol es un lugar ideal , hay socorrista , eso se merece las 5 estrellas. Han limpiado todo de maleza y cañas, es agradable para estar con los peques , un puesto de helados triunfaría

Jose Antonio Gimenez Gil 4 years ago

Positive experience: Zona de río apta para el baño y pasar un rato divertido. Llevar bañadores viejos o pantalones cortos porque al tirarse por la presa se rompen o desgastan los bañadores. Y escarpines ya que hay piedras en el fondo y resbala el suelo.

Positive experience: Een grote winkelcentra die heel groot lijkt van af de autoweg , maar erg tegen viel mooie grote bedrijven, levensmiddelen en een grote levensmiddelen bedrijf en Leroy Merlin en veel snackbar en restaurants en Mac Donalds en nog een grote Amerikaanse bedrijf en paar kleding winkels dat voelt tegen.

Fantastic experience: Perfect and beautiful place to go in summer to swim and in autumn and winter to disconnect while listening to the water falling! There are benches, trash cans, a place for sports (walking, running, cycling) as well as sitting, relaxing, and watching ducks all around the river area! Free apartments right next to the location! In addition to signs indicating that swimming is not prohibited, there is a lifeguard (hours on the signs) and low depth in the main area (I recommend water shoes). If you pass through Archena, don't hesitate to check out this lovely place!

Fantastic experience: Acabo de visitarlo en Semana Santa (2023). Tiene un parking cercano, con zona para autocaravanas. Desde el mismo se accede por un camino a esta "playa de Archena". Tiene césped para tomar el sol, rampa de acceso al agua y un camino con sombra de arboleda por si apetece un paseo bordeando el río Segura. Hay algunos patos por la zona y es ideal para ir en familia. Un cartel avisa de que hay socorrista en épocas del año. Al que le guste bañarse, sólo precaucion porque se notaba que podría resbalar por el musgo que se forma. Pero recomiendo como mínimo, visitarlo por ser un lugar poco común.

Negative experience: El lugar es bonito, pero no es apto para el baño. El agua huele a pecera y está sucia, tras años de abandono al río segura y "sospechas" de vertidos. Solo apto para personas con fuerte sistema inmunológico. El acceso y salida del agua es imposible (2 dedos del pie izquierdo LESIONADOS) y con corriente peligrosa para niños y mayores. Sin socorrista entre semana (realmente creo que puede ocurrir una desgracia). Era un lugar donde mi perro se bañaba y ahora no permiten animales. Lo dicho, el sitio era y es bonito, pero así planteado, no se entiende bien la finalidad.

German Z 4 years ago

Positive experience: Está muy bien esta iniciativa del ayuntamiento. Leo gente quejándose del olor de las aguas o que hay fango en el fondo... Señores qué queréis? Es un río, no la piscina de un hotel. El detalle de que haya socorrista está muy bien también. No le doy 5 estrellas porque quizás faltaría algún acceso con rampa o escalera para facilitar más la entrada y salida del baño.

Positive experience: Hemos ido entre semana en agosto, no había mucha gente, el acceso es bueno, hay poca sombra, pero nos hemos llevado sombrillas porque había leído alguna reseña diciéndolo, Para nosotros no es de las mejores zonas de baño de un río pero lo bueno y divertido es la tirada del agua hacia abajo, los críos se lo pasan pipa y nosotros tb, recomendamos escarpines y pantalon de baño en lugar de bikini, ya que al bajar muchas veces puedes rozarte, el agua no estaba demasiado fría. Volveremos!

Positive experience: A very small area of river "beach". It's fine for cooling your feet, but I'm not sure about swimming, although I didn't see any signs prohibiting it. It's right beneath the sports center and the RV area. Cars are parked in the RV spaces, but mostly near the path that leads to the river. The amount of litter thrown around seems to have increased.
