Playa de los Narejos, Mediterranean beach in Los Alcázares, Spain

Playa de los Narejos is a sand beach in Los Alcázares located along the shallow waters of Mar Menor, creating a wide coastal expanse. The shoreline is backed by a paved promenade with shops, restaurants, and service facilities running along its length.

This beach grew as a destination when Los Alcázares developed as a coastal town during the 20th century. The modern facilities visible today were built gradually to meet the needs of beach visitors over time.

Los Narejos is a residential beach district of Los Alcázares, and its promenade is used year-round rather than only in summer. The chiringuitos and restaurants along the shore serve the Mar Menor catch, and the wide paved walk is where residents walk in the evening.

The beach features wooden walkways, adapted changing rooms, and first aid stations positioned along the shoreline. Visitors can rent umbrellas, loungers, and specialized beach wheelchairs to make their visit more comfortable.

The beach sits on the Mar Menor, a saltwater lagoon separated from the Mediterranean by La Manga, a sand strip about 22 km long. The lagoon is one of the largest in Europe, and its sheltered, shallow water warms quickly, so swimming continues well into autumn.
