Do & See
The nearly 20 kilometer strip is the place to be for beach-goers and golders (Veneziola Golf enjoys rave reviewesy), but further pursuits await on the mainland. Cape Palos, Calblanque Park and Punta Brava make for good day-trips, while the closest big city is Cartagena - a historic port settlement with plenty to explore.
