Tradtionally a seafaring and agricultural centre, San Pedro del Pinatar has become one of the principal tourist towns on Murcia's Costa Cálida.
The main attractions of San Pedro are concentrated around the beach and shore. Here you will find Lo Pagán, a lively tourist centre which has all kinds of holiday facilities, such as hotels, bars, restaurants and shops. Next to the long promenade facing the Mar Menor are extensive beaches such as La Puntica or Villananitos. This watery setting, combined with the facilities at its marina, means you can do a great many sports, such as sailing, scuba diving or windsurfing.
In the Mar Menor, the beaches of Villananitos and La Curva (formely known as La Puntica), offer low depth waters, like an incentive to take bath or practise any kind of water sport. La Puntica is a beach where water sports are possible, such as sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, there are even floating pitches on the water. It has a wide variety of services, such as open-air bars, showers and restaurants.
The beaches bathed by the Mediterranean are El Mojon and La Llana with 400 and 2,500 meters long respectively. El Mojon is a typical Spanish village near the Mar Menor,(the famous saltwater lagoon), and the San Pedro Nature Reserve (were you observe many species of flora and fauna). It has clean safe beaches and a lovely promenade with walks leading to the reserve and marina near the salt lakes (there are a couple of restaurants on site to try) or in the opposite direction to the next village of Torre. It has a marina and a lovely square with a few locally run bars and restaurants.
