Navigation Notes

This coastal sector offers a mix of small town quays and highly protected anchorages situated inside the Mar Menor inland sea. It effectively breaks up the passage before the final approach into the industrial hubs further south.21 Passage: Access to the protected waters of the Mar Menor is heavily restricted by a lifting bridge and strict shallow-draft requirements in the entrance channel. Vessels must verify bridge opening times meticulously and assess tidal flow before committing to the channel.
