Negative experience: Pretty unique with its pine grove, it's not necessary to bring an umbrella, with access for people with disabilities right to the sand and, in my opinion, beautiful. As for cleanliness, there was quite a lot to desire; there were even diapers, cans, bags, and cigarette butts all over the place; apparently, in Murcia, it's hard for them to pick things up off the ground. The water is what the people of Murcia have chosen. Don't even touch it; it's from the Mar Menor...
Fantastic experience: stones, garbage, holes, not well maintained! The most beautiful beach with a pine forest by Mar Menor
Positive experience: A bit crowded and noisy.. the rest is fine. Good for kids because it's not deep. Difficult to park.
Positive experience: Nice beach with pine forest for shade. No parking. Sadly the water was full of thousands of jellyfish - fried egg type - and water clarity was poor with 1m visibility. Some small black spiky things stick in your feet when entering the water - very shallow so you have to walk a way out to swim.
Fantastic experience: Great day out with the Scouts. Parking a bit of a nightmare but worth the effort

Fantastic experience: Great food and a waiter who guides and advises well. We had dinner on the terrace, and they let us sit with our two dogs tied up. They kindly brought them a bowl of water without us asking. Everything was very good. Recommended.
Positive experience: Un lugar muy bonito y acogedor, con todos los servicios. Vamos a pasar el día en familia desde hace muchos años, pero este verano he observado algo incómodo, ya que estando prohibido ir con perros, habían varios grupos que los llevaban. Algunos de ellos estaban tranquilos y eso es lo ideal ya que no molestan, pero teniendo en cuenta que está prohibido no entiendo como hay dueños incivicos que no los controlan y permiten que molesten, sin parar de ladrar y escarbando en el suelo o haciendo deposiciones.
Fantastic experience: Es un sitio precioso, ideal para sacar a los perros y agradable para dar un paseo se puede hacer Buenos picnics y pasar un día o una tarde sin problema hay muchos árboles y el alrededor es precioso, muy recomendable
Negative experience: No admiten perros y dejan la basura tirada por alado de los cubos destrozando la playa
Fantastic experience: Cada domingo estoy en esta playa y tengo que ponerle un 10, 1° Se esta muy tranquilo 2° El agua y la playa estan super limpias 3° Constantemente pasa la urbana para controlar que todo este bien, felicidades. 4° Limpian continuamente los servicios publicos. 5° Cambian continuamente las bolsas de las papeleras. 6° Si traen perros o ponen la musica alta les llaman la atención enseguida y eso es de agradecer. 7° Felicidades por los socoristas que estan continuamente controlando la situación. 8° Felicitaciones a todos empezando por el servicio de limpieza de los servucios, playa,papeleras, socorristas y El cuerpo de la Urbana que estan continuamente velando por todos nosotros ,muchisimas gracias.

Negative experience: Uma praia pequena e a areia parecia terra
Fantastic experience: Fantástica cala ubicada en el km 3'5 de La Manga del Mar Menor en el término municipal de Cartagena. Consta de un chiringuito en el centro de una pequeña pinada que da paso a una playa de arena fina y blanca de agua cristalina del Mar Menor.
Fantastic experience: Un lugar muy bonito, tranquilo. Tiene buen acceso con el coche, aparcamiento cercano. Arena fina, en el mar puedes observar los peces nadando. Lo recomiendo si vas con niños pequeños. Tiene zonas con sombra, y duchas ara lavarse los pies. Un lugar mágico para ver el atardecer.

Fantastic experience: There is a large area with natural shade from the pine forest, during the summer season the beach bar is open and has independent, proper restrooms that serve for changing, ideal for going with children as it leads to the Mar Menor.
Fantastic experience: We liked it very much, it is our first time, we are from Utrera Sevilla (Andalusia) and I am going to recommend it, very quiet and the water is clear, there is also a beach bar that attends you very well, we had some soft drinks and they give you a tapa of shrimp as a gift, it is located among the pines.
Negative experience: The beach was really dirty, people don't take care and throw everything on the ground, and they also went behind the pine trees to relieve themselves. When the wind changed, it was awful and the flies were everywhere. The beach bar was very, very expensive, and in the end, we had to leave. What a shame, at first it seemed like it was going to be a nice place, I was led by the good reviews, and in the end everything was different from what I read.
Fantastic experience: An idyllic cove, plus there's Mr. José's restaurant. Very affordable prices and great service and customer care. It's the second year I've gone to a festival in Cartagena and I go to this paradise cove to take a swim and have some drinks and tapas at Mr. José's bar. Greetings from León.
Fantastic experience: Small family beach with a lovely little bar restaurant

Positive experience: Cala tranquila, fresca porque hay bastantes sombras de los pinos. Puedes ponerte en las sombras si llevas mesa y sillas, o más cerca de la orilla con toallas. Es muy llana y se hace pie hasta bien dentro, eso es bueno para los niños, aunque si quieres que medio te cubra tienes que andar bastante. Los alrededores están muy sucios. Es difícil aparcar. Tiene unas vistas muy buenas. El agua está muy caliente y limpia aunque con algas. No está tan fangosa como otras de la zona. No tiene casi olas, como todas las del mar menor al ser una laguna. Hay bastantes pececillos, ermitaños...y los niños se entretienen. La arena es fina pero hay demasiadas colillas. Hay unos toboganes cerca y un chiringuito. Hay socorrista, baños, lava pies y bastantes papeleras. Por las tardes se está mejor y genial la puesta de sol y el olor a pinos.
Fantastic experience: Playa de agua limpia mar menor con una zona de. 2. 5 m de profundidad, chiringuito, socorrista, una pinada ideal. Un rincón precioso pata ver atardecer
Fantastic experience: Un lugar tranquilo. Un poco apartado. Tiene un pinar que da bastante sombra y el agua es transparente. Puedes venir con niños porque apenas hay olas y después comer en alguno de los restaurantes cercanos. Cerca hay una isla que puedes llegar a ella caminando. Es una de las mejores playas del mar menor. Tiene puesto de socorrista y vestuarios para cambiarte con comodidad. También hay muchos perrotes y pepinos de mar. Pececitos de colores y algunas plantas en el fondo. Para bañarse y pasar el día está muy bien.
Fantastic experience: Playa bonita, con bastante pinos, buenos servicios(limpieza de los lavabos, socorristas, chiringuito, bastante papeleras)
Fantastic experience: Lugar encantador, cala enmedio de un pinar aguas transparentes y calientes Displne de un chiringuitos q pone cervezas de barril superfrias tiene aseos socorristas .

Fantastic experience: Muy buena cala donde hacer esnorquel para ver peces y plantas marinas. Justo enfrente, buen chiringuito con comida de calidad y a buen precio.
Fantastic experience: Me encanta, pero haciendo snorkel vimos unas medusas enormes !!
Fantastic experience: De las mejores playas del mar menor. Tiene un pinar con mucha sombra, chiringuito con mesas y sillas, puesto de socorrista, baños públicos, fuentes para aclararse. Si quieres poca profundidad o quieres no hacer pie, en esta playa tienes las dos opciones, cosa que no en todas las playas del mar menor es posible. Si te adentras un poquito en el agua, cubre y puedes nadar, hacer esnorquel, etc.
Positive experience: Una cala para realizar snorkel y pasar un tiempo en el agua. La arena está muy sucia y apenas hay instalaciones para los visitantes.

Pine Cove: Reviews
Positive experience: The highlight of the beach is the pine trees and their smell. The downsides are the annoying flies. And like most beaches, there is no shower.
Fantastic experience: It's one of the cleanest beach in the La Manga
Fantastic experience: The paradise on earth
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, incredible sunsets
Fantastic experience: Magnificent cove in the Mar Menor of La Manga. Only problem, impossible to park in July/August and on weekends.
Fantastic experience: We had a very large group today (more than 90 people) and the service was quick and very friendly. I didn't know the place before, but I will return.
Fantastic experience: There are no words to describe the greatness of Nature!!!
Fantastic experience: As always. If you go early and leave early, it is very beautiful.
Fantastic experience: There is a large area with natural shade from the pine forest, during the summer season the beach bar is open and has independent, proper restrooms that serve for changing, ideal for going with children as it leads to the Mar Menor.
Fantastic experience: Calm and beautiful. One of the best sunsets in the region.

Fantastic experience: A great beach to spend time with family
Fantastic experience: Very calm and very peaceful beach
Fantastic experience: To stay until 2 and leave... in the afternoon it is a soup surrounded by mosquitoes.
Fantastic experience: Perfect little beach for a relaxing swim. You can even enjoy natural shade from nearby trees. Quiet and not too busy.
Fantastic experience: Perfect No waves Calm and beautiful
Positive experience: Like everything, the environment is very nice but the people are a bit dirty. I didn't take the risk to swim.
Fantastic experience: Every time I come this summer, I like it more :-) In the shade cool with a beer and 40 degrees in the sun... a picture is worth a thousand words. Thank you Isaac and family, Almudena, ... etc. for making me feel at home or even better.
Positive experience: Spectacular place to spend a day at the beach. It's a smaller sea but the water is clean and in very good condition. The restrooms are in good condition.
Positive experience: Very calm cove although it gets packed on weekends! Unbeatable sunset views, although it's a shame that there is a lot of garbage around.
Negative experience: Pretty unique with its pine grove, it's not necessary to bring an umbrella, with access for people with disabilities right to the sand and, in my opinion, beautiful.

Fantastic experience: stones, garbage, holes, not well maintained! The most beautiful beach with a pine forest by Mar Menor
Fantastic experience: Spectacular bathroom in crystal clear waters.
Positive experience: A bit crowded and noisy.. the rest is fine. Good for kids because it's not deep. Difficult to park.
Positive experience: Nice beach with pine forest for shade. No parking. Sadly the water was full of thousands of jellyfish - fried egg type - and water clarity was poor with 1m visibility. Some small black spiky things stick in your feet when entering the water - very shallow so you have to walk a way out to swim.
Fantastic experience: The best cove of La Manga. And the only pine forest that remains. A beer at sunset, 'agustino' is an understatement. Thank you
Fantastic experience: An idyllic cove, plus there's Mr. José's restaurant. Very affordable prices and great service and customer care. It's the second year I've gone to a festival in Cartagena and I go to this paradise cove to take a swim and have some drinks and tapas at Mr. José's bar. Greetings from León.
Positive experience: Perfect for hanging out with the kids
Fantastic experience: Great day out with the Scouts. Parking a bit of a nightmare but worth the effort
Positive experience: Few parking spaces but pleasant. Because it's in the city center. There is a surveillance post, shade under the pines, public toilets, showers, cafeteria. Unfortunately, few activities for people and for children. Just the beach. Excellent beach.
Positive experience: The place is very beautiful, it has pines and reminds me a bit of the beaches of the Costa Brava. Very easy to get there but very difficult to park the car.
Negative experience: It's a shame that the Mar Menor is so dirty because it's a beautiful place and has been built without respect for the environment; the sunsets are gorgeous. It's not a place where I would swim...
Fantastic experience: Small family beach with a lovely little bar restaurant
Fantastic experience: It's great for kids as it's shallow and calm. Right now the water is very clean. You can eat in the shade of the pines or stay with the umbrella near the water. There's a beach bar and a restaurant. The only downside is the parking; there's a loading and unloading area where parking is supposedly not allowed.
Positive experience: It must be the only pine forest in La Manga. The Mar Menor is beautiful. The coast is overly developed, with buildings of poor quality. There is no place to park. It was December, and we left the car wherever we wanted. In summer, if you come from outside to spend the day, it could be a problem.
Fantastic experience: Great
Positive experience: A place where pine, shade, and beach meet.
Positive experience: The environment is very good, but the water has a lot of algae.
Positive experience: A good place to eat with friends and family, it is large and has a ramp, which is definitely very useful for those in wheelchairs, for example.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic
Fantastic experience: Super...
Fantastic experience: A true marvel.
Fantastic experience: Good beach
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove with a wooded area and plenty of shade
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful and peaceful, and you can enjoy the shade of the pines.
Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the most beautiful place from Torrevieja to Cartagena. Just great with a beautiful view, sunset over the water. Amazing
Negative experience: The cove is indeed very beautiful, but for me it was a disappointment. The day we went, it was a total muddy mess and quite dirty; there was no way to lay down a towel.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove, with a pine forest and plenty of shade
Fantastic experience: Great food and a waiter who guides and advises well. We had dinner on the terrace, and they let us sit with our two dogs tied up. They kindly brought them a bowl of water without us asking. Everything was very good. Recommended.
Negative experience: It's a very stoney beach. You need footwear. There's a cliffside walk down to it and not a lot of parking at the top. When I went there in September it was as good as empty, but I understand it gets busy. It isn't officially a nudist beach, but every one there - all seven of us - were naked. You can walk to the next cove along, but today two arrogant men were 'guarding' the pass and watching anyone walking past. As one was playing with himself this was a little intimidating.
Positive experience: Nice area, nice rooms, quiet and we had fantastic weather
Fantastic experience: A very nice beach, almost feels like your own private beach, a must visit. And the water super hot during summer.(if you like that.)
Positive experience: Calm quiet gentle water, lovely sun trap, with shade under trees on the approach to the beach, quite a small cove but just a short walk around the buildings on the left as you face the sea leads you to a much longer shore line!
Fantastic experience: Just lovely. Really nice owner that gives you all the info you need. Comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful view. Good location. Looking forward to returning.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful little beach, plenty of shade and shallow water for little ones. 2 nice restaurant and bathroom facilities available. Could only find disabled parking close by so we had to park approx 100 meters away.
Positive experience: Nice secluded beach where the waters usually is calm. Lots of pine trees providing shades
Fantastic experience: Very nice place to go with the family all year long, perfect place for a siesta on a hamaca
Fantastic experience: A spectacular restaurant with wonderful views. The food is exquisite and the staff are charming. Although any of their Fish is to die for, the Paella is outstanding.
