San Pedro del Pinatar, Coastal municipality in Region of Murcia, Spain
San Pedro del Pinatar is a coastal town at the northern end of Costa Calida, sitting between the Mediterranean Sea and the Mar Menor lagoon. The landscape combines flat terrain with salt production facilities, traditional fishing structures, and beaches that blend industrial heritage with tourist activities.
The area was valued by Romans for its salt production and fishing, activities that supplied trade networks across the Mediterranean. Salt extraction remained the backbone of the local economy for centuries and continues to shape the community today.
Life here is deeply connected to the sea and fishing traditions that shape daily routines and local celebrations. Visitors notice maritime influences in the architecture, the way people use public spaces, and how the community gathers around water-related activities.
Expect flat terrain and long stretches of beach that are easy to explore on foot or by bike. The warmer months are ideal for visiting when facilities and attractions operate at full capacity.
The encañizadas are traditional fishing structures built for more than a thousand years between the two water bodies to trap fish in shallow areas. These handmade installations remain visible today and reveal how local fishers have harvested these waters using the same methods across generations.
