Three settings overlooking the Mar Menor sunset at km 3

La Mestiza is a beach restaurant in Polígono Dos Mares, at km 3 of La Manga, with direct access to the shore of the Mar Menor. It combines a restaurant, a beach bar on the sand and an upstairs drinks area. Its main draw is the sunset, mentioned in hundreds of Google reviews.

Restaurant, sand and upstairs

Each area has its own menu and pace. The restaurant serves tapas, rice dishes and chargrilled meats, with dishes inspired by travel. At the beach bar on the sand, the food is more informal: burgers, pizzas and some street food. Upstairs is the drinks terrace, where a DJ plays at sunset with the music low enough for conversation.

Most popular dishes

  • Ceviche, mentioned in dozens of reviews
  • Tartare and bonito
  • Rice dishes, ordered in advance
  • Chargrilled meats
  • Burgers and pizzas in the beach bar area

What visitors say

The same positives come up again and again: the views, the atmosphere at sunset and the friendly waiting staff. Here, much of what you pay for is the setting, with sunset over the Mar Menor taking centre stage.

Weddings, groups and the season

Google also lists it as a wedding and events venue, and groups of more than twelve dine from a set menu. In season it opens daily from midday until the evening, closes after summer and reopens in spring. The entrance, parking and toilets are wheelchair-accessible. To compare places to eat with a view, browse the restaurants in the La Manga directory.

    An unbeatable place for a romantic dinner at dusk. The welcome, the friendly staff, the parking service, the chance to wait for your table with a glass of wine overlooking the sea... and of course the food make La Mestiza a wonderful place in La Manga.

    A beautiful place surrounded by nature. Incredible views. Very good food. I recommend the arroz del senyoret (rice with prepared seafood) and torrijamisú (a torrija and tiramisu dessert). Love it!

    Perfect for dinner, a drink at night or at sunset (the sunset over our Mar Menor is incredible). Good service and very original, tasty fusion food. Recommended.
