Beach lovers can enjoy the nearby coastal resort of Santiago de la Ribera, which is only a 10-minute drive from San Javier. Hugging the shores of the Mar Menor lagoon, this town is known for its golden sandy beach, which is popular with swimmers because of its gentle, warm waters. There’s also an excellent range of water sports activities and boat excursions available throughout the summer months.

San Javier’s nearby motorway links the town with Murcia’s regional airport in just 25 minutes, and Alicante Airport can be reached within an hour’s drive. Both airports offer international flights throughout the year, making San Javier easily accessible from Northern Europe. With San Javier’s warm and sunny climate all year round, it’s easy to see why this town is such a popular choice for expats and property investors.
