The village has a range of shops, bars, banks etc. and has a regular bus service north and south along the coast.

La Marina urbanisation consists of terraced houses such as Josefinas, Finas and Rositas, and detached houses, such as Lolas and Rosas. The newer villas of the big construction companies have so highly imaginative names as Fortuna, Nadine, Alicia or Oceania.

Inhabited all year round, the Urbanisation has developed its own charm and in the summer it pulsates life. Many Spaniards spend their holidays here (especially in August) and enjoy a family gathering with a picnic in the pine wood close to the beach or an eventful evening at one of the great Fiestas with “foam party” and live-Music.

La Marina village, which can be found by the beach, has still retained much of its Spanish persona.  Here you will be able to try some of the different Tapas from the area while trying some of the local wine in the Spanish Bodega.  The Village is also the location for the school used by many of the children from the Urbanisation.

During the summer the vacationers can find themselves under the Spanish sun at temperatures up to 40 degrees and the resident all year round can enjoy the mild climate.

Winter temperatures are very rarely less than 5 degrees and one can stay at Christmas at 15-20 degrees easily.  In the spring the average temperature is a mild 20-25 degrees and everything blossoms, in autumn one can still sit in late October with a cardigan on the terrace.

During the day apart from the usual beach activities, varied sport and leisure activities can be found in the area. Thus you can rent bicycles, play mini-golf, take a walk by the dunes or salt-work areas or go into the numerous small souvenir stores. In the closer surroundings one can book a riding excursion, hire a quad or a balloon flight over the nice scenery of this region.
