Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Las Amoladeras occupies an urban stretch of La Manga with 1,000 metres of golden sand and a width of 20 metres. Although its frontage is urban, part of the beach belongs to an Espacio Natural Protegido, so the promenade and buildings coexist with vegetation and an environment of environmental value. Usual conditions range from moderate to strong waves. It can be reached on foot, by car or by boat, with parking for more than 100 spaces. The GR 92 and the toilets and foot-washing points complete the practical information.
