La isleta beach

Playa la Serena

8 Matthew Parkes

This spot is a great for families with young children, as the sea is shallow and the sand is beautiful. The restaurants nearby offer good food and drinks at reasonable prices. It's easily the best beach in the vicinity, and it's our go-to place for beach days.

Vera Playa Naturist Beach Playa nudista vera

8 Dahlia Jones

The pictures of canines on the sand at this naturist beach may be misleading. Despite the visuals, this isn't a pup-friendly spot. The signs clearly state that no pets are allowed at any time of the year. I've taken my dogs for a walk here before and was scolded by the authorities. The only option is to take them for a stroll on the pathway at the rear of the beach, and only with a leash. Friends of mine have also been reprimanded by lifeguards for walking their pooches along the beach during peak season, and some German friends were even fined. If you want to take your furry friend for a walk, it's best to go to Palomares/Villaricos instead.

Playa del descargador

8 Johnathan Curran

A great spot for some peace and quiet, with plenty of free parking and miles of sand, but be sure to bring your beach shoes as the shore is quite pebbly.

Playa del Sombrerico

8 Giovanni Rossi

This location is a real gem! The chiringuito at the end of the road is simply amazing - it's definitely worth a detour. A perfect spot to spend a day in the sun!

Playa de Garrucha

8 Troy McTavish

This location is a great alternative to the busier beaches of Mojacar. The sand near the sea is incredibly soft and inviting, and the beach is easily accessible. It's a beautiful spot to spend the day!

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 31.3°C and the water temperature up to 26°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 14.9°C and the water temperature down to 15.1°C.
