Playa de Manzanares, Urban beach in Los Alcázares, Spain.
Playa de Manzanares is an urban beach in Los Alcázares with pale sand stretching roughly 800 meters (2,600 feet) along the Mar Menor coast. It connects two neighborhoods and offers different sections for swimming and recreation.
The beach emerged as a focal point during the mid-20th century when Los Alcázares transformed into a Mediterranean coastal destination. Growth during this period shaped how the area developed as a modern seaside community.
The beachfront promenade hosts local eateries serving regional fish dishes that reflect centuries of fishing culture. These establishments give visitors a taste of how the community has connected to the sea.
The beach includes facilities for visitors with reduced mobility, such as adapted bathrooms and specialized equipment for water access. The gentle shoreline makes entering the water straightforward and safe.
The Mar Menor waters here remain several degrees warmer than the open Mediterranean throughout the year. This natural feature extends the comfortable swimming season compared to nearby coastal areas.
