MOJACAR PLAYA

If you want to be close to all of the amenities, then the urban center of Mojacar Playa is the place to be. There are several great beaches to choose from such as Playa de las Ventanicas and Playa del Lance Nuevo.

All of the beaches offer the following facilities and amenities: parking, lifeguard, showers, sun beds, parasol and kayak hire, chiringuito beach bars.

From Easter to October these beaches are very popular. However, compared to other resort towns on the Spanish coast, Mojacar Playa does not feel overcrowded. Although there are a lot of hotels to choose from, thankfully there are no high-rise buildings.

Mojacar’s south end offers a row of virgin beaches and coves set at the foot of the Sierra Cabrera Mountains. The landscapes, with an impressive shoreline of volcanic rock formations, are quite rugged. The area is mostly undeveloped and the services are limited. But the beaches here are Mojacar’s most beautiful. Nudism is also commonly practiced.

These beaches are accessed by a dirt track that passes by the Pirulico Tower. This watchtower was built by the Nasrid Moors between the 12^th and 14^th centuries and was used up until the 16^th century. Climb to the top of tower and enjoy stunning views of Mojacar’s coast in both directions.
