Playa de Nares

Introduction

Sun, sea, and tranquility lovers! Today we want to take you on a journey to one of those corners of the Murcian coast that we are in love with: Playa de Nares in Mazarrón. Strategically located near the Puerto de Mazarrón, this beach is a true treasure that combines the convenience of an urban beach with the serenity of a more secluded cove. It is, without a doubt, a destination that we, as beach tourism experts, highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing Mediterranean experience.

When we think of the Region of Murcia, its pristine coves and rich history often come to mind, but Playa de Nares reminds us that there are also perfectly equipped spaces for family enjoyment without sacrificing natural charm. With its characteristic fine sand and crystal-clear waters that invite you for a swim from the first moment, it is the perfect setting to disconnect, play with the children, or simply lie in the sun and let time pass slowly. We love its welcoming atmosphere and the feeling of safety it conveys, making it a favorite choice for those traveling with the little ones.

How to Get to Playa de Nares

Getting to Playa de Nares is really simple, which adds to its appeal, especially for families or for those who prefer not to deal with difficult access. If you are coming from inland in the Region of Murcia or from other provinces, the most common way is to take the A-7 motorway and then turn off onto the RM-3 towards Mazarrón. Once in the municipality, head towards the Puerto de Mazarrón. Playa de Nares is located just east of the port, easily accessible from the coastal road connecting the port with Bolnuevo.

For us, the advantage of its location is that it integrates perfectly into the urban fabric, which means car access is direct and there is no need to travel on unpaved roads. Regarding parking, you will find parking areas on the streets adjacent to the beach, although, as with all popular beaches during the high season, we recommend arriving early to secure a good spot. It is also possible to reach it on foot or by bicycle from the center of Puerto de Mazarrón, enjoying a pleasant promenade that offers beautiful views of the bay. The good signage in the area makes it almost impossible to get lost, which is always a plus for travelers.

The Sand and Water

If there is something that captivates us about Playa de Nares, it is certainly the quality of its sand and water. The sand here is fine and of a soft golden hue that invites you to walk barefoot. It is perfect for children to build sandcastles or for us to relax in the sun without the discomfort of gravel or stones. Its texture is so pleasant that we often find ourselves simply walking along the shore, feeling the sand between our toes, a simple but deeply rewarding experience.

The waters of Nares are another of its great attractions. They are notably calm and crystal-clear, with a turquoise blue tone that instantly evokes the essence of the Mediterranean. The absence of strong currents and its gentle entry slope make it an extremely safe place for swimming, even for less experienced swimmers and, of course, for children. We always value water cleanliness, and in Nares, the clarity is such that you can often see the seabed with the naked eye, making it a little paradise for snorkeling; even if you are not an expert, you can enjoy the underwater life closest to the shore. The water temperature, especially in the summer months, is very pleasant, inviting long, refreshing swims that are greatly appreciated under the Murcian sun.

Services and Facilities

At Playa de Nares, comfort is guaranteed thanks to the wide range of services and facilities available to us. We always look for beaches that offer amenities for everyone, and Nares delivers in spades. To begin with, the beach holds the Blue Flag distinction, an award that assures us of the excellent quality of its waters, environmental management, and the safety of its services. This gives us great peace of mind and confidence every time we visit.

Among the essential services, you will find:

• Showers and Foot Washers: Essential for washing off sand and salt after a refreshing swim.
• Restrooms/WC: Clean and well-maintained facilities for everyone's comfort.
• Parking: Although it is not an exclusive beach parking lot, there are ample areas on nearby streets to park your vehicle.
• Lifeguard Service: During the high season, the beach has lifeguard service, which provides us with great security, especially if we are with children.
• Chiringuitos: Several beach bars right on the beach or very close by offer everything from soft drinks and ice cream to more elaborate meals, allowing us to enjoy a good paella or fresh fish with sea views.
• Sun Loungers and Umbrellas: For those who prefer to travel light, there are sun lounger and umbrella rental services, facilitating rest and sun protection.
• Full Accessibility: This is a point we emphasize with special emphasis. Playa de Nares is adapted for people with reduced mobility, including wooden walkways that facilitate access to the sand, and during the season, adapted bathing points with amphibious chairs and assistance personnel. We find this fundamental so that everyone can enjoy the sea without barriers.
