Quieter, scenic end of the strip (Veneziola/Tomás Maestre): beaches on both the Med and Mar Menor, marinas and watersports—frontline/second-line apartments with very strong summer demand.
Facts
La Manga Norte covers the upper section of the spit around Veneziola and the Tomás Maestre marina bridge. It’s more open and tranquil than the centre, with wide sands on the Mediterranean side and family-friendly Mar Menor coves. Expect upper-mid coastal pricing around €2,360/m² (frontline/second-line apartments; renovated sea-view units with lift/pool price higher). Airport access is easiest via Región de Murcia (RMU) ~55–65 min; Alicante (ALC) ~80–95 min. Rentals are excellent in summer and solid in the shoulders thanks to beaches, sailing and kite/windsurf spots.
