Beaches

I did a 'Go West' from Mazarron day when i was out a couple of weeks back, managed to stop at half a dozen beaches, best of which I thought was Percheles, which must be near Calnegre but doesn't appear on any of the maps I have. No facilities but massive car park, large main beach, 2 smaller sandy coves and 2 shingle coves with lots of rock pool areas. It's about 30km/30mins from Condado, Turn Right at the end of the 603 towards Aguillas and then left at a small roundabout signposted Puerto Percheles, about 5km down that road past loads of greenhouses/plastic, road slowly dwindles down to single track with car park at the end thru a height restriction gate. Have put some photos up.

Also went down to Aguillas and the various beaches between Aguillas and Calabardina, have to say Bolneuevo and Port Mazarron seem better................ although still haven't found one as nice as Calblanque just before you get to La Manga strip but that's a tad too far for regular visits.

Best website I've found so far is Viva Murcia, but even that misses out some that I've been on and has no descriptions / directions at all for some beaches www.viva-murcia.com/beaches_c4.php

And just found the list of Murcia Blue Flag beaches www.blueflag.org/Menu/Blue+Flag+beaches%2fmarinas/2008/Northern+Hemisphere/Spain/Murcia

And this one www.mazarron.es/ingles/galeria/galeria.asp

Anyone found anything better, either beach or website ?

Thanks for the photos

When we were over for completion in November we found a lovely little beach at Cala de Cortina, just round the coast from the Port at Cartegena. There is a nice restuarant right on the beach serving fresh fish

The sea is crystal clear and the steep walk down the steps from the car park is well worth it

perselles is amazing.also carry on down the coast and turn off the main road where you see the motorway toll booth.turn right where you see the camping sign before you reach the sea and follw the dirt road for 100meters.unbelievable beach.

hi to the beach bums, can anybody tell me the name of the beach and whereabouts? in the pictures dated nov 13th? also is the building in the picture a restaurant or facilities area??

 adios amigos

Hi lewjesdan
