Mar Menor Mud Baths, Murcia

10 Calle Campoamor, San Pedro del Pinatar, Región de Murcia

Description

The Mar Menor is a saltwater lagoon of the Mediterranean Sea located in the Region of Murcia. The lagoon is very shallow and contains mud that is deemed to have therapeutic effects, hence mud baths are popular. The Baños de Lodo and Las Charcas are the most popular locations.

Access & Transport

The mud baths are on the northern edge of San Pedro del Pinatar which is 50km southeast of Murcia and 40km northeast of Cartagena.

Instructions & Recommendations

We recommend bringing a set of old swimming costume and towel.

Meta review

Very popular activity with good reviews; those who have tried enjoy doing something original - including the floating in the very salty water afterwards. They also appreciate the helpful infrastructure with pontoons and the fact that it is free!

Environmental & Social

Green activity. Socially neutral.

Conclusion

If you have never tried mud bathing and are staying in Murcia, Cartagena or La Manga, then give this a try. You can easily combine a trip there with a visit of the Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar protected natural area.
