Although popular, the sheer size of Mata Gordas beach means that you can feel quite alone on this two-mile stretch of golden sand.

With a more low-key atmosphere than Pedrucho Beach, Matagorda is popular with local families and tourists alike. Lined with wooden walkways, it’s also a lovely spot to go for a stroll. Or, if you’re more in the mood for watersports, there are also places to hire windsurfing equipment and sailboats.

Services: 
Drinking water, boat rental, sunbed rental, umbrella rental, sailing rental, windsurfing rental, footbaths, litter bins, restaurants, free wifi, children's play area.

Cala del Pino is an ideal place to spend a day with the family. It is a beach bathed by the Mar Menor next to a pine forest that offers shade throughout the day. You can enjoy a nice meal as it has ample sand space for it.

As it is a beach that overlooks the Mar Menor, it is ideal to go with children without having to worry too much. In addition, in summer all access to the cove is closed with nets to prevent the entry of jellyfish.
