 La Manga del Mar Menor and indeed the Mar Menor is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by all but the thread of land that is La Manga.
The region of La Manga del Mar Menor measures roughly 13 miles in length and is often described as a lagoon or a lake.
Indeed, the Mar Menor measures a mere eight metres in depth at its deepest point and has a high salt content with an average water temperature of 17 degrees Celsius.
Popular with foreigners and locals, La Manga del Mar Menor attracts golfers to the three championship La Manga Club golf courses.
Other nearby areas along the Costa Calida include Murcia, Alicante, Torrevieja, San Javier and Cartagena.
Sights to see on La Manga del Mar Menor include the entrance to the La Manga strip at a lighthouse, while the Puente Levadizo del Estacio bridge allows access to the Mar Menor itself.

Around the La Manga del Mar Menor region there are a multitude of such beaches that children and adults alike will enjoy exploring such as the Playa Honda, Playa de los Nietos and Playa de Palo.
While a sunny resort, La Manga del Mar Menor can also be a windy one, which is perfect for the many windsurfers who frequent the resort during the holiday periods.
Those with skin problems may also find the salty waters of the Mar Menor beneficial, along with the warm sun that is almost always guaranteed.
And those travelling to La Manga del Mar Menor over the weekend can visit the Mercadillo de Cabo de Palos which takes place every Sunday morning, according to Spain Holiday.
