I think that this link may give you the precise information that you have been asking about

http://www.murciasalud.es/pagina.php?id=331596&idsec=305

I have to stress that I am not an expert, but from what I can see the information available through this link provides answers to many of the questions raised above.

Thanks this is really useful I've confirmed some other info via google translate but can you tell me what the water quality classification around Club Nautico is?  I gather this is near Rubio 360 where they do the sailing.

Also is is possible to cycle from Molino Quentin to Playa De Las Salinas? I understood the earlier post to say this area is tidal.

The Club is between Puntica and Villananitos. The majority of the in-water activities seem to take place off Puntica i.e. to the south of the Club.

The Mar Menor effectively has no tides, although there is some movement largely related to air pressure changes.

In the map extract that you posted, the MM is to the west (left) and the Med to the east (right). The Med has some tide (but not a huge range). The Salinas stretches from El Mojon in the north, to the tip (Punta de Algas) opposite La Manga in the south. There is continuous beach on the Med side (except for the Marina de las Salinas). This shows up well on Google Maps with satellite mode (but the 'map' mode is a bit misleading).

Various parts of this continuous beach have different names e.g. Llana, but this is somewhat artificial and almost impossible to see as differentiated on the ground.

These beaches can be reached from San Pedro/Lo Pagan:

- drive/cycle to El Mojon and walk along the beach

- drive/cycle on the road across the Salinas to the Marina and then walk/cycle along the beach

- cycle/walk along the promenade from the Molino Quintin (Paseo en San Pedro Del Pinatar) past the Molino Calcetera and on to the Punta de Algas, and then cycle/walk along the beach

This latter option is popular, but I have never seen the beaches at that end of Salinas busy. Some walk/run/cycle a loop out to the beaches by one route, along the beach, and then back by another.

To cycle from Molino Quintin to a place on the beach can take less than 15 minutes, and at a gentle pace no more than 30.

I swim at Lo pagan and have never had any problems. The water is clear there.

Hi,  we bathe from Lo Pagan and happily let our grandchildren play in the MM and have never had any health issues.  I thought much of the foam is actually due to the salt in the water.  Hope that helps
