Very popular In summer , if you like boating or sailing it's a must, Traffic heavy during summer, lots to see and do and great for water sports.

Historically, it was known by the Romans as Palus and later by the Moors as Al Buhayrat Al Qsarand. In the 17th century its name changed to Mar Chico, meaning "small sea" and later as El Mar Menor. I. I sure they operated just as local tourist do today, ate drank beer with everyone and slept. Originally, it was a bay opening into the Mediterranean; at either end, volcanic reefs gradually held back the sand and sediment that was dragged along by the sea currents to form a sandy column of dunes and rock vegetation and long beaches in contact with two seas. La Manga sandbar is cut off by natural channels that keep the two seas in contact with each other; the so-called golas allow water from the Mediterranean into the lake. As such, the space was untouched until the 1960s, when La Manga was discovered as a tourist resort and underwent a transformation which included the urbanisation of the area and the construction of tourist infrastructures. Have fun, and try pick up your litter, if you don't the sand dune...

Mi lugar favorito a pesar de su deterioro y el desastre ecológico. Es el mejor sitio del mundo para realizar actividades náuticas tipo windsurf, kayak, kitesur y vela ligera. Pero cuidado, porque también es el lugar favorito de gente sin licencia (ni conocimiento) para alquilar embarcaciones a motor. Otra pega es que "la Manga 365" es una falacia. Los empresarios hacen su agosto y abandonan la Manga tras llenarse los bolsillos. A cambio, en temporada baja, los 4 comercios/servicios que quedan abiertos, son los más profesionales y maravillosos del mundo. Lo mejor (a parte de la gente local que hice todo el año) son sus dos mares. Dependiendo de los vientos (el lebeche es el mejor viento que vas a encontrar para navegar) siempre encontrarás un lugar para todos los gustos. Que quieres lebeche, al mar menor. Si no, al mediterráneo. Y cuando hay levante, al revés. Hay algunas zonas dónde el mar menor está bastante perjudicado y el baño es asqueroso; pero cerca de la gola y a medida que avanzas kilómetros, el agua está cristalina y el baño es digno del paraíso. Como puntos claves de esta lengua de tierra entre dos mares, partimos de Cabo de Palos, que pese a la masificación, conserva cierto espíritu pesquero. Después la plaza del Cavanna, con muchos servicios abiertos todos el año, a excepción de enero. A continuación la isla del ciervo-plaza bohemia, corazón de la Manga y parte más ancha, con restaurantes abiertos todo el año. Seguimos a Galerías flamenco-zoco, intentando sobrevivir tras haber sido anteriormente el epicentro de la noche manguera. Continuamos hacia castillos de Mar, las vistas de isla Grosa e isla del Baron cada vez más cerca. Llegamos al Pedruchillo que también ofrece servicios todo el año. Más adelante, tenemos otro punto clave, el puerto Tomas Maestre, con supermercados, oferta de ocio, incluso servicio de ferry. El puente del Estacio que se abre varias veces al día según la demanda de cada temporada, y a partir de ahí, kilómetros de más calma (y en temporada alta, alguna posibilidad más de aparcar y tener más centímetros de playa por persona). Al final de la Manga, tenemos La Veneciola con su puente de la risa y lugar dónde se unen los dos mares. En resumen, un paraíso único con mucho más de lo que he podido...

Yeah, La Manga is a amazing place. See the lighthouse of Cabo de Palos, we can eat there in the restaurant La Tana, and there are many more ... it is very nice. Take a walk around the lighthouse in afternoon / evening and have dinner there, and then, see especially ,. ..the beaches, being in them, places so many the areas here, bohemian square, ice cream, snacks ... there are quite a lot of people, and the Alcazaba, shops and drinking, ice cream and dining, the sea minus its beautiful sunsets, and the port, many boats 😀, I hope my experience would helps you. Enjoy the La Manga.

I really like La Mange for its beautiful beaches and restaurants. It feels like a Florida beach strip similar to USA. My only dislike is the traffic in the summer. Only 1 road going in and out for about 18 km. Its a pain in the butt. Otherwise pretty place to visit. I suggest you go in April/May or Oct/ Nov. Less congested.
