San Pedro Del Pinatar
Tourist Information

San Pedro Del Pinatar is one of the main tourist destinations on the Murcia coast, having during the past few years become one of the most sought after locations to live or own a holiday home for many Spanish and English families on the Costa Calida.

For holiday makers, the main attraction of San Pedro Del Pinatar has to be its glorious, safe and clean beaches.

Lo Pagan is a lively tourist area with hotels, bars, shops, restaurants and even a fun fair during the spring and summer months.

The natural, hot mud baths of San Pedro Del Pinatar are world famous for their healing properties and for those who prefer not to cover themselves in it in public, there is a super new spa centre within walking distance, where you can spend a day or more pampering yourself and relaxing in the various pools.

The Salinas de San Pedro Del Pinatar is a regional park where many species of migratory birds come to nest.

The Mar Menor is the largest saltwater lagoon in Europe, covering 170 sqm, yet having a maximum depth of just 7 metres.

Traditionally, San Pedro Del Pinatar was an agricultural and seafaring centre and is now one of the principal towns of the Costa Calida.

Golf enthusiasts are also well catered for, with many golf courses nearby, including the world famous La Manga Club.

Murcia (San Javier) airport is less than 15 minutes away by car and is well served by all of the low cost budget airlines including Easy Jet, Monarch, FlyBe, Jet2 and others from most UK airports, so you could be door to door with just a few short hours.

New Land Train For San Pedro Del Pinatar

We took a trip on the land train and for a family of 5 it cost €17 - this was for a return trip, so it really is good value for money. It's also an extremely welcome sight when you're returning from the beach or town late at night with kids in tow!

New Local Bus Service

Public transport links to all parts of Murcia from San Pedro Del Pinatar is excellent. The bus station is just 10 minutes walk from the apartment, as well as a number of very well sign-posted bus stops showing the stops along the way to your destination.

Summer 2008 saw the introduction of a local bus shuttle. The local bus is a little larger than a mini-bus, probably seating no more than 30 people. It stops outside Jacks & Sons supermarket and runs regularly between San Pedro Del Pinatar and Santiago de la Ribera, the next resort along.

The local bus visits the town centres of both resorts and is really handy on market days, when car parking might be a little tight and you don't fancy a long walk in the blazing sun. 

We haven't tried the bus service ourselves, but the neighbours are very happy with it and say that it's becoming very popular with the locals now.

Free Bicycles

New in 2009 is the introduction of a free bicycle scheme. Simply register your details at the local town hall (1st floor) and you'll be able to collect your bike from one of the various self-service stations that are available throughout San Pedro Del Pinatar.

Each of the parking bays has it's own unique reference number and once you've registered, you simply send a text message from your mobile phone to a special number and you will be able to release the bike from the parking bay and use it all day.

If you wish to leave it somewhere other than your pick-up point, you can, as there are parking facilities throughout San Pedro Del Pinatar.

This is a rental station situated just a few hundred yards of the apartment!
