Playa del Espejo, Beach in Los Alcázares, Region of Murcia, Spain.

Playa del Espejo is a beach in Los Alcázares featuring dark sand and shallow Mediterranean waters ideal for swimming. The shoreline includes basic facilities such as showers, changing rooms, and public restrooms that serve daytime visitors.

Los Alcázares began as fishing villages that gradually transformed into a coastal resort starting in the early 1900s. The area grew as wealthy Spanish families built homes and spent leisure time here, shaping its development as a seaside destination.

Playa del Espejo lies in Los Alcázares, on the Mar Menor, a shallow lagoon separated from the Mediterranean by La Manga. The name means "Mirror Beach", referring to the lagoon's still surface. Bathers wade far out in warm, calm water, and the beach is a regular gathering point for local families through the bathing season.

The beach has parking nearby and offers rentals for umbrellas and sun loungers during the season. Arriving early on sunny days helps secure good spots, especially during peak summer hours.

The seabed slopes gently, keeping the water shallow for a considerable distance from shore, which makes this beach especially suited for young swimmers. This natural feature attracts many families seeking safe bathing conditions.
