It will please everyone whether you’re going alone or with friends and families. The activities are also not expensive, and you can find all kinds of experiences for all price ranges.

The Beach Has Strong Waves

Some beaches in the region of Murcia tend to have calm seas and few waves, but this is not the case with Playa de la Isla. The sea is usually agitated and produces some of the strongest winds around the region’s shore.

Make sure to keep this in mind when putting your umbrellas in the sand or taking kids to the beach. It is always recommended to have a responsible parent taking care of them and watching to avoid any problems or accidents during the time there.

Even though the sea is agitated compared to other beaches, it does not kill the mood or anything like that. It is still the perfect spot for the entire family to spend vacation together.

Lifeguard Services Throughout the Beach

Another significant aspect of this beach is that you can find lifeguard services and help located directly at the shore of the beach, so whether a child needs help finding their parents or anything else, you’ll have someone ready to give you a hand. These lifeguard booths are available throughout the entire beach and are your best friend if you want a vacation without any problems or surprises.

They also provide essential information about the sea. You can tell how dangerous the sea is by checking the flag attached to the booth. A green flag means the sea is calm, while a red flag means it’s agitated and has many waves.

Not Much Parking Space

If you’re visiting Playa de la Isla, it is important to know that there is no easy parking around the bay or any part of the beach. It is always recommended to go on foot or use a car service to access the place.

This serves as an entrance to the beach and other activities around town. Finding a place to park is a true challenge, especially during high season. Some parts can get a little overcrowded, and using a car can make the experience much more difficult.

The good part is that everything is fairly close, so you don’t have to worry about transportation. Whether you want to see the boats, visit some shops, go to a bar, or anything else, the entire place is easily accessible. Even though a specific place is on the opposite side of the city, it is still easy to find and access.
