In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"I absolutely adore this beach - it's my favorite! The sand isn't sticky, it's nice and clean, and there aren't too many people around."

Zalika

"The beach in La Azohia is better than La Manga, and it's the best one in Southeast Spain. It's great for families with kids because they won't get lost on the beach, and there are plenty of dog-friendly beaches too. Plus, it's conveniently located near Corvera airport."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa de la Chapineta (Region of Murcia) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Playa de la Chapineta (Region of Murcia) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Playa de la Chapineta for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
