You can cycle virtually all the way around the Mar Menor along its trails, dirt tracks and an old royal drove-way, all of which hug close to the coastline. The 56.4km cycling route around the Mar Menor is a pleasant ride with no inclines, so making the going that much easier. It can be covered in about 7 hours. There is only one stretch, in the area known as Las Encanizadas at the northern end of La Manga, where various canals prevent crossing by bike.
