About El Carmoli
El Carmolí is a sparsely built stretch of the Mar Menor shore in the municipality of Cartagena, Region of Murcia. It sits on a flat plain inside a protected natural park, and a hill of the same name is an ancient volcano. The Mar Menor is a salty lagoon no deeper than 6 m, separated from the Mediterranean by the sandbar of La Manga. The beach here is about 3 km long, with dark sand, calm water and low occupancy. The marina at Las Urrutias is about 3 km away. Our homes sit in one tight group. Nearly all have a private pool, all have air conditioning, and they mostly sleep four, with two bedrooms. Some have a garden.
