Aqua Beach

Aqua Beach is a beach-bar-style restaurant in Urbanización Punta, in Polígono Veneciola, at km 18 of La Manga. It has a seafront terrace and is best known for nachos, pizzas and cocktails, a combination that works for an easy dinner after the beach.

What to eat

The menu is casual, and reviews focus on a handful of dishes. Nachos are mentioned most, served with plenty of cheese, chilli and guacamole in portions meant for sharing. Pizzas and burgers follow, while lighter options include the house salad and stuffed aubergine.

Not everyone leaves equally happy: some reviews find the burgers expensive and criticise their serving with shoestring potato crisps rather than chips. Worth knowing before ordering.

Sunset drinks

Many visits end with a cocktail, and mojitos receive the most praise. Sunset from the terrace is another recurring theme, and quick service from the waiting staff features in many reviews.

Opening hours and access

It opens Tuesday to Sunday from midday until the early hours and closes on Mondays, making it suitable for a late lunch or light dinner. The entrance and interior are wheelchair accessible. It is on the southern stretch of the strip, beyond km 17, and is convenient if you are staying in Veneciola or nearby developments. To compare with other beach bars, see the beach bars in La Manga.
