Wonderful Spanish resort we visited many times with plenty bars and restaurant with seating outside. The beaches are in pristine condition cleaned and cleared every day ready for the families and tourists visiting for the day. The marina is a little jem, great seating out and relaxing in the sunlight. I love the place a very traditional Spanish seaside resort.

Mazarrón has put in a tremendous effort to enhance its waterfront, and the area looks fantastic. The promenade is very pleasant, and the views of the bay are simply stunning. You’ll also find plenty of restaurants and shops nearby to complete your outing. However, during the summer months, it can be quite challenging to find a parking spot.

Beautiful beach and soft sand. The sea was crystal clear and warm (although I'm used to British sea so most other beaches have warm sea). Not too busy with adjacent shops to grab a drink or food if needed.

The beach isn't too bad, but it's a bit neglected. Most of the foot showers are out of order, and in Puerto de Mazarrón, the dirt is everywhere—trash that goes uncollected for days, animal waste, a terrible smell, and streets that are dirty and 'broken' with potholes. The curb cuts are extremely dangerous, making it completely inaccessible.

El Rihuete Beach Visiting the Bay of Mazarrón is like diving into one of the most genuine spots in the entire Mediterranean. Amenities: foot showers, trash bins, walkways, a seaside promenade, ramps, restaurants. A lovely beach to enjoy. The sand is soft. Highly recommended!!

We all write about the ideal beach for kids, but the truth is that it is crowded with people of all ages. The beach is sandy, the promenade is very beautiful, and there is a good food offer along the promenade. In the area of the Rihuete restaurant, there is a large open space for parking.
