Here you will find a submarine on display, built in 1884 by Issac Peral, a local man. The best view of the port is from Parque Torres, in the far distance are the lighthouses and traces of old fortifications that defended the entrance to the port for centuries. There is a diverse mix of architecture among the naval buildings, military headquarters, churches and banks.
Los Alcazares - Soft sand, warm waters and great places to eat make Los Alcazares a place well worth a visit. A beautiful new promenade fronts this pretty seaside town, known for its Roman thermal baths.
Calblanque - National Park Calblanque beach is not so easy to access, but definitely worth the effort. Travel down a bumpy and dusty track, and you eventually arrive at the beach. There are no facilities here, so take plenty to drink and a picnic. The huge golden beach that opens onto the Mediterranean in a sheltered bay, makes a brilliant destination for a day by the sea.

The salt flats have been present in this are since the 14th Century and the two windmills that are standing were used for years to bring water from the Mar Menor to the storage lakes. Other birds to be seen in this area are grebes, plovers, herons, egrets, sorks, owls, turns and gulls, to name but a few.
Lo Pagan - Just South of San Pedro del Pinatar is Lo Pagan. Here you can witness the tradition of mud baths, taken in the pools of the Salinas, which are thought to have therapeutic properties. The health benefits include easing of rheumatic pain, arthritis, and healing of skin conditions. A fish market is held on the Esplanade every morning except Sunday.
