What a license-free day looks like
You potter around the Mar Menor, Europe’s largest saltwater lagoon, cut off from the Mediterranean by the La Manga strip, picnic on board, swim at anchor. Flat, warm water on the lagoon side whatever the wind — initiation waters par excellence — the operator adjusts the day's area accordingly.
Booking smart
Demand peaks from May to October, the lagoon warming like a pool from June, and the local license-free fleet can often be counted on one hand. The calmer morning slot is also the most pleasant.
