De modderbaden

Lo Pagan is located on the north bank of the Mar Menor and has merged with San Pedro del Pinatar to become a major city in the province of Murcia. Lo Pagan has a beautiful beach, boulevard and small marina. During the summer months there is a fun fair next to the marina that provides a lot of atmosphere on the coast.

Lo Pagan is most famous for its mud baths. These are free, which is great news if you are with a large family. All ages can use the mud baths from 1 to 100, but only the really hardy knuckles go during the winter months. The mud baths are located at the end of the beach and the beginning of the Salinas walking and cycling route to the sea. Just walk down the stairs and apply the therapeutic mud, very good for all skin types complaints and pains, then dry in the sun, then go back into the water to rinse it all off!

Tabarca 

Are you looking for a fun family trip? How about a boat trip to the pirate island of Tabarca? Tabarca, 400 meters wide and 1,800 meters long, is a small, charming island off the coast of Santa Pola. It is the smallest permanently inhabited island in Spain. It is said that an average of 30 people live there during the year. Other sources speak of an average of 100 inhabitants. The fact is that there are fewer residents in the winter than in the summer. The inhabitants mainly live from tourism and fishing. The island is easily accessible from various ports. Especially from Santa Pola there are very regular connections, from Alicante and Torrevieja the offer is slightly less and the prices are slightly higher. You can choose from different ferries such as a catamaran or a speedboat. You can go to the port for information about timetables and prices. Most prices are around 15 euros, but with a little negotiation it can sometimes be cheaper. Keep in mind that some boats do not operate during the siesta.
