Playa Paraíso is the natural beach of the Mar Menor at the base of La Manga, opposite the Salinas de Marchamalo. It has a wide, clear strip of sand and slightly deeper water than on the western shore of the lagoon, so it is a good spot for progressing. It works with Levante, which comes in side-shore along the beach, and with Mistral, the northwest wind that comes in head-on from the lagoon and can be strong and gusty in autumn and winter. It is suitable for kitesurf, wingfoil, windsurf and SUP. Behind the beach there are protected salt flats and dunes: enter and exit via the access points. There are no services on the beach, so do not go out alone. The bottom has mussel shells, so wear booties. During the bathing season, the front is buoyed off for swimmers. Forecasts are checked with ARPEGE, ECMWF and ICON.
