Pines down to the shore and calm water at km 4

La Cala del Pino is a fine-sand cove on the shore of Mar Menor, at km 4 of La Manga, in the development bearing its name. Its unmistakable feature is the surrounding pine grove, which reaches almost to the water and provides natural shade during the sunniest hours.

A peaceful swim in Mar Menor

Like the rest of the lagoon, it has no waves and is sheltered when the wind blows. Many families choose it because the water is calm and shallow near the shore, so children can swim peacefully. Sunset over Mar Menor is one of the most sought-after moments.

Shade, beach bar and facilities

Reviews most often mention the shade from the pines, with several swimmers saying there is no need for a parasol, and the cove's beach bar. There are foot showers and, nearby, restaurants and a pizzeria. Some visitors mention seaweed on the shore and an occasional smell.

Getting there and where to park

Car access is awkward and there is little parking beside the cove. The practical option is to leave the car at the start of the street and walk down, either along the road or through the pine grove; both are short walks. If you like lagoon coves, see the beaches of La Manga.
