Islas Menores is the neighbouring village of Mar de Cristal, on the southern shore of the Mar Menor. The Playa de Levante in Islas Menores is a strip of sand between two small marinas, with flat water and waist-deep for about 250 m: a quiet spot for learning and for foil. It works with Levante, which comes side-onshore at this north-facing beach, and with Jaloque, the summer thermal, which here comes side-offshore and light. It is suitable for kitesurf, wingfoil, windsurf and SUP. The two harbours enclose the beach on the sides: stay away from the entrances. The water is very shallow, so be careful with fins and foils. The bottom has mussel shells, so wear booties. The islands of the Mar Menor are protected areas and landing is not allowed. Forecasts are checked with ARPEGE, ECMWF and ICON.
