Calblanque

Very close to the Mar Menor there are some unexposed areas where you can spend a day at the beach. The Calblanque Regional Park is an ideal area. You can get there from the Cartagena-La Manga freeway, taking the exit to Calblanque.

In 1987 it was declared a protected area and today it offers an exclusive group of beaches, salt flats and cliffs. Its rough coastline hides coves and small beaches with fine sand that offer the privacy searched for by those naturism lovers. If the visitor goes further away from the dunes it is advisable to change shoes because the ground starts to get rocky and there are larger surfaces of volcanic rock bordering cliffs.

Tourists must also take care when approaching the fossil dunes, which are considered as the most highly valued natural element of this area, near the Rasall salt flats. If you walk a little towards the interior, the landscape changes again: plains where you can hardly get any shade, but also vegetation which has grown again and now includes dwarf palm trees and other species. What remains of the pine trees is found in El Horno and La Fuente Hills.
