Situated on the Mediterranean coast, Costa Calida ("warm coast") offers beaches of fine sand and fine gravel and is an alternative of a healthy lifestyle spoiled with beautiful EEC certified Blue Flag beaches, unpolluted sea, clean air and fresh food. Away from the coast towards the inland you may visit several towns which still preserve their medieval charm and infrastructure. The town of Mazarron, about 7 km away from Isla Plana, is a small Spanish town. Situated in the province of Murcia this town offers amenities which include fresh produce markets, banks, medical facilities, shops etc. Thanks to its location in a bay, the beaches around Mazarron are protected from the cool currents of the Atlantic where water temperatures are about 5°C warmer than in the open Mediterranean resulting in a very pleasant micro-climate with relative mild winters. A 10-minute drive away from here you will arrive at its pretty little seafront sister, Puerto de Mazarron (3 km away from Isla Plana). Here you will find a harbour and marina, long stretches of sandy “Playas" (beaches) alongside the promenade, numerous bars and restaurants. Typical local cuisine includes stews, salads, roasted and grilled meat, pastas, rice and, of course, great sea-food. Do not forget to try the regional wines which are very fairly priced and are of high quality.
Puerto de Mazarron is the touristic centre of the area and offers a complete range of amenities, services, sports, nature and cultural events. You can enjoy golf courses, beaches, harbours, parks and much more in the surrounding areas.
