Lorca has also heart and marine essence. The wide municipality of Lorca shows above the mediterranean sea. Its eight kilometres of fragmented litoral will make all persons, who look for calmness and peacefulness, become emocional between a nobel sun and the blue of its refleshing sea.

The recondite situation and the almost heavenly aspect of the lorquian beaches and coves have delivered them from the urban development and offer a virgin, intact and harmonious aspect with the natural area which surrounds them. The proximity of the mountain ranges favours the appearance of rocky stretches and rockies among small sea spaces available for bathing.

You can find a warm and dry climate on the beaches of Lorca, being the temperature media of their waters 18 degrees in winter and 24 degrees in summer. This makes them being a suitable place for practicing different activities such as fishing, diving and nautical sports during the whole year.

From all the coves and beaches in Lorca, that of Calnegre, which has a length of 1.200 metres and 20 metres of wide, is the most important. In summer, all the services for the attention to the bather are available: watchmen and first aid post, buoys, showers units, air open restaurant,... We would like also to point up the beach on the centre of Puntas de Calnegre, which has also watchmen and first aid post , buoys, showers units, a playpen for children, and a municipal youth hostel with a restaurant opened the whole year. Next to this beach it is Playa Larga in Garrotillo deputation, which has a length of 550 metres, and Los Hierros. The coves of Siscar, Junquera, Baño de las Mujeres, San Pedro y Cala Honda are hidden among the rockies and they offer to you a light lonely and nostalgic aspect.

The lorquian seashore, which is included in Regional Park “Lomo de Bas”, offers natural and endemic values becoming unique in Europe, such as the “ cornicales”, finding in this place the greatest density in the continent. We also find the ‘azufaifo’ and other species of ‘rupícolas’. In contact with the sea, we find the buckhorn, the ‘salsola’, the ‘sea lili’, and the palm trees, mulberry trees and fig trees growing in the watercourses. The fauna is represented by a great number of reptile species such as the protected “mora tortoise”, the ‘runner toad’ or lizards; While, seagulls, white egrets, partridged eagels and peregrine falcons fly over this natural and unique paradise in the Mediterranean.
