Mazarrón beaches: Playa de la Reya


Mazarrón beaches: Playa de la Reya

Also known Playa de Junta de dos Mares on the coastline of Mazarrón

The Playa de la Reya is a beach in the built-up area of Puerto de Mazarrón, one of 33 along the 35-kilometre coastline of the municipality of Mazarrón between those of Cartagena and Lorca. 

It is a long, curving semi-urban stretch of sand which adjoins Playa Bahía, Playa de la Pava and the Cabezo de Gavilanes viewing point, located 1.9 kilometres from the centre of Puerto de Mazarrón and is easily accessed from Avenida D. José Alarcón Palacios, which forms part of the long coastal road linking the town to Bolnuevo.

This area is lined with residential houses and apartments, with a number of small dead-end streets running off the main road down to the edge of the beach. These provide plenty of parking, although during the summer, when the population of the municipality swells from 30,000 to 150,000, space does become limited. There are also bicycle racks and some spaces allocated for disabled parking, although during the summer there’s very little chance of finding one unoccupied.

The beach is also serviced by the urban bus on the urban Mazarrón-Murcia route.

The Playa de la Reya is a Q for Quality beach, which indicates that  it has been recognised by the Spanish Tourist Board for the quality of the services as well as the cleanliness and quality of the water.

Playa de la Reya is busy during the summer due to the holiday and residential blocks which lie inland, on the other side of the main carriageway, from where people walk to this lovely sandy stretch of shoreline. However, it never really feels crowded due to its size: it is 400 metres long with an average width of 30 metres.

Facilities:

There are bars and restaurants along the road behind the first line of accommodation, within easy walking distance. The beach has a drinking water tap, toilets for both able-bodied and disabled bathers, rubbish collection and recycling bins, foot washes, a children’s play area, access ramps where necessary, and wooden walkways.

It is a popular family beach with fine, soft sand and a pebbled fringe. During the summer there are hire facilities for windsurfers and pedalos as well as small one-man sailing boats and other sporting equipment.

Surfers are attracted here as on windy days the rollers tend to funnel into the bay, and you´ll often find surfers and bodyboarders here on "good wave days" although there are no lifeguards or Red Cross here during the winter. 

Behind the Playa de la Reya is the Punta de Gavilanes, an important archaeological site used by successive cultures, with remains dating back as far as the Argaric period in around 1900 BC. There is little to actually see today in archaeological terms, but the outcrop offers superb views across the coastline.
