Water Sports

Strategically situated between two seas, La Manga Club Spain is the ideal base for water sports. Just ten minutes from the resort you will discover an infinite world of water-based activities waiting to be tried. Don’t miss out, take the plunge and enjoy!

Covering an area of some 170 square kilometres, the Mar Menor is Europe’s largest saltwater lagoon. This unique setting has everything you need for water sports: great weather, constant thermal winds, warm shallow water, on average 6° warmer than the Mediterranean. Try your hand at waterskiing, escorted jet-ski rides, canoeing or kayaking. Or simply enjoy some body surfing and sunbathing.

Diving

Make the most of the safe, clear, warm waters of the Mar Menor. Scuba diving instruction including a complete range of PADI diver training courses are available, with speciality courses for those as young as 8 years old. These take place in the pool and the sea. Sign up for a guided dive or if you are very experienced, there are shore dives and boat dives on offer. Dive courses include Discover Scuba-diving, Bubblemaker Experience for Children and an Open Water Course.

Sailing & Windsurfing

Sailing on the Mar Menor is a fantastic experience: its gentle water and soft winds make it a safe environment for learning. Windy days offer an added challenge to more experienced sailors, yet without the risks of the open sea.
