Sunset is one of the most magical moments of the day. The orange light of the sun bathes everything, tranquility is felt and any moment becomes unforgettable thanks to this unique ambiance. That’s why many people are looking for the most special places to experience a moment like this.
The coast of the Murcia Region is one of those places that offer perfect sunsets to be etched in your memory or to consider some of the most important issues in your life. But, where are the best sunsets in Murcia?
The beaches of the Costa Cálida are undoubtedly some of the best spots where to appreciate this spectacle every day. And if you do it from one of its viewpoints or from some of its most emblematic beach bars, you will have an unforgettable memory. Nothing compares to the panoramic view of a sunset from La Manga del Mar Menor or from the coast of Cartagena.
Port of Cartagena
The first stop to enjoy a sunset that you’ll always remember is the Port of Cartagena. This emblematic place offers a peerless view from a historic enclave where numerous battles have been fought since antiquity and which has been controlled by different cultures throughout its history.
The panorama of the sunset in Cartagena is worthy of the best photographs, and allows for a golden, redder sky that casts its light on the city, like a warm blanket. Watching this sunset is not only a good plan alone or as a couple, but it’s also the perfect end to a day of activities with children in Cartagena.
Monte Blanco Viewpoint
The beach bars in La Manga are a must-see, but if you want to watch the sunset from a privileged place within this strip of land, the Monte Blanco viewpoint is your place. This viewpoint is in the heart of La Manga and allows you to see how the sun dyes the sky in reddish and orange hues while bathing the islands of the Mar Menor with its warm light.
Tomás Maestre Port
A landmark from which to see the sunset in La Manga is the port of Tomás Maestre. The port is not only full of bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a drink or sample some of the local cuisine, but it also allows for a walk while admiring the sunset over the Mar Menor.
The port of Tomás Maestre allows you to watch the sun set behind the hills of the islands while reflecting its light on the sea of the largest saltwater lagoon in Europe. Without a doubt, a spectacle that you can’t miss.
Las Encañizadas
Imagine being able to watch the sun rise and set directly over the sea. That’s what happens at the end of the area of La Manga, next to the wetland of Las Encañizadas. At this very special point on the strip of land, you can enjoy some of the most spectacular sunsets in all of Europe. A color palette unfolds every day at sunset and reflects off the Mar Menor as if it were a mirror. After seeing one of these sunsets, it’s hard not to fall in love with La Manga.
Playa de los Alemanes
Another sunset in La Manga that doesn’t go unnoticed is the one that you can enjoy from the Playa de los Alemanes. This beach in the Mar Menor is the perfect setting to enjoy a swim during this magical hour which gives you the opportunity to take some of the most special photos of your holidays. To get there, you just have to take the first exit to Cabo de Palos in the direction of Salinas de Marchamalo, or you can access from La Manga by turning right, towards Playa Paraíso.
Cabo de Palos Lighthouse Viewpoint
Watching the sunset from Cabo de Palos is another of those experiences that you should save for one of your vacation days in La Manga and its surroundings. The Cabo de Palos lighthouse is the emblem of this small fishing village, and there is a viewpoint from which to get a 360-degree view of the entire coastline that surrounds the strip of land. This way, you can see the sun set over the Mar Menor from the Mediterranean shore with one of the best views of La Manga in its entirety.
Calblanque Regional Park
Lastly, we have the opportunity to admire a very special sunset, which can be seen from the Calblanque Regional Park. This is a protected natural park between Cartagena and La Manga del Mar Menor where you can appreciate the day falling from some of its cliffs or coves. A natural setting in which to enjoy the deep contrast between the blue of the sea and the golden sky at sunset, alone or with the best company. At La Manga Club, we can inform you about the access to Calblanque Park and the different ways to visit this natural gem.
