Mazarrón beaches: Playa de Bolnuevo
Costa Cálida Mediterranean beaches: Playa de Bolnuevo in Mazarrón
The Playa de Bolnuevo is a huge semi-urban Mediterranean beach running along the coastline of the village of Bolnuevo, and is one of the 33 which are to be found along the 35-kilometre coastline of Mazarrón between the municipalities of Cartagena and Lorca.
It lies between the Rambla de las Moreras and the Punta Cueva de Lobos, at which point the landscape changes dramatically and the long stretch of sandy beaches which characterise Puerto de Mazarrón ends. The built-up area of Bolnuevo runs along the seafront, a narrow strip of shops, bars and residential apartments which then climbs up the hill at the western end, where properties enjoy spectacular views out across the sea.
Much of the first construction was undertaken before the Ley de Costas was passed, and is very close to the the beach itself: buildings are not high-rise and consequently the beach is far from crowded even in summer.
At the eastern end of Bolnuevo is a large campsite, which occupies much of the seaward side of the road. From here the glorious 1,600-metre-long beach runs uninterrupted with an average width of 24 metres.
Parking at the urban end of the beach is difficult, as there is little space in the streets behind, but that is more than compensated for by the huge open parking area which lies at the foot of the Gredas de Bolnuevo, the wind-eroded rocks. Even in the peak of summer this is rarely full.
Out of the holiday season this space is used for a number of community events, including the annual Romería of the Milagro, when the area is filled with horses and carriages and thousands of people celebrating the miraculous event which saved Mazarrón from attack by Berber pirates.
Services
Bolnuevo beach is well serviced by restaurants along its length and the variety of options is popular with locals who love the beachfront location and the cocktail atmosphere as the sun sets.
During the summer the beach is well serviced, with foot-washes, lifeguards, children’s play areas, bins and recycling collection points, beach games areas and public toilets, some of which are adapted for disabled use. There are no specific disabled bathing areas, although access is not difficult to the beach as it is flat and sandy from the onset, and has wooden walkways leading down onto the sand, although not to the shoreline.
This beautiful beach is justifiably popular among expats, locals and visitors from all over the world.
