Jet ski in the Mar Menor: the definitive guide
The Mar Menor is the largest saltwater lagoon in Europe and a unique place to get started with jet skiing. Its warm, shallow and almost always calm waters make it the perfect setting for anyone who has never been on one.
What makes the Mar Menor so special
It is protected by the La Manga strip, which keeps the swell to a minimum. The water is warm, shallow and with little current. If you want to see which companies operate, at jet ski rental in Murcia you have the regional listing.
La Manga: the boating heart
La Manga del Mar Menor is the area with the most offer: you can choose between the calm of the lagoon or heading out to open sea. See the offer at jet ski in La Manga.
San Pedro del Pinatar: calm waters
San Pedro del Pinatar, in the north, combines calm with a protected environment (the salt flats). More peaceful than La Manga. See the options at jet ski rental in San Pedro del Pinatar.
