Background
The Mar Menor covers a surface area of 170 square kilometres, so although it is possible to drive from the "mainland" section of the San Javier around the outside of the lagoon and up the La Manga strip, those without vehicles, or prefer a more leisurely pace of travel, may prefer to use the ferry service which links these two distinct sections of San Javier on opposite sides of the Mar Menor. (See map of San Javier)
There are regular bus services along the La Manga strip in both directions (see public transport for more information).
The journey takes 40 minutes and tickets can be purchased on board.
NB: During the summer festival season, extra services are laid on for those attending the San Javier Jazz Festival and the Festival of Theatre and Dance (see What's on section for programmes).
