The chiringuitos (beach bars) and terraces that you can't miss this summer in the Region of Murcia

With the arrival of summer in the Region of Murcia, it's time for days at the beach, eating at beach bars and terraces overlooking the sea, and enjoying the Costa Cálida at a leisurely pace, without ever checking your watch. In addition, in the Region of 1,001 flavors we love to enjoy Murcian cuisine by the sea, an experience that delights all the senses.

If this summer you want to enjoy the Costa Cálida and its delightful cuisine, we have a list of beach bars in the Region of Murcia that boast Soletes, "little suns" in the Repsol Guide designating the best places to go to have a good time and enjoy the food. Read on!

Águilas

Occupying a coastal strip of 28 km, and with the beautiful San Juan de las Águilas Castle looming above, we find this town, populated since the Paleolithic era. Its beaches of golden sands and its crystal-clear waters make Águilas one of the best places to spend your days in the Region of Murcia.

You can enjoy its Mediterranean cuisine, varied and based on fruits and vegetables and seafood, with red shrimp being a highlight. And, what could be better than enjoying its seafood right by the sea? The wide range of chiringuitos listed with Soletes that it offers will make you fall in love with its fare: Chiringuito La Tortuga Mora, Chiringuito Cuatro Calas and the Restaurante Zoco del Mar.

Mazarrón

Located on a sweeping bay open to the Mediterranean, we find Mazarrón, a municipality with two urban centers: its port and the capital. You can enjoy its beaches, with crystalline waters and small, hidden coves, for a day full of sea, sand and salt. Also, what could be finer than getting to know a place through its gastronomy? In Mazarrón you can do so at Bangarole.

La Azohía

A small fishing village with translucent waters and quiet beaches to enjoy a relaxing day. Don't ever go away with an empty stomach! The Deskaro by Bongora beach bar will make your mouth water with its kitchen, right by the sea.

La Manga

La Manga is a whimsical orographic feature stretching 24 km between Cabo de Palos and Punta del Mojón, wedged between two seas: the Mediterranean and the Mar Menor. You can enjoy its two seas, swimming either off extensive beaches or in small coves. And only here can you see the sun both rise and set over the water. Because in the Region of Murcia everything is possible.

Moreover, don't miss La Manga's beach bars recognized with Soletes. The options are endless: Collados Beach, Escuela de Pieter, La Mestiza, Ajo y Agua and Camarote de la Martinique.

Cabo de Palos - Cartagena

Cabo de Palos is an idyllic enclave belonging to Cartagena that stands out for its emblematic lighthouse and cliffs. Its coves, with crystal-clear waters, and the beaches of this fishing village are perfect for snorkeling and diving, thanks to their sea beds.

If you're a foodie you can enjoy terraces and beach bars right by the sea, and try one of the area's signature dishes: el caldero. La Bocana, Cp8 and El Mosqui are the options with Soletes recommended by the Repsol Guide if you visit here.

Lorca

A city rich in history, heritage and tradition. In the monument-rich city of Lorca you can enjoy its contrasts: incredible landscapes, an urban center with all the services that a modern city has to offer, and the quiet, unspoiled coast of Calnegre, declared a Regional Park.

Why not visit Calnegre in the morning, savor exquisite dishes overlooking the sea at the El Faro de Puntas Restaurant, and then spend the afternoon sightseeing in the city after the sun goes down? That sounds like a perfect plan to us.

What about you? Are you going to try the Region of Murcia's delicious cuisine this summer?
