Or for an unforgettable day on the waves, why not hire a boat? You can choose from a wide variety of craft - sailing, rowing or motorised - with or without a skipper. There are also organised boat trips to the islands in the Mar Menor, just sit back and enjoy the scenery.
If you would like to learn to sail while on holiday, there are international-standard sailing schools, such as RYA-recognised Watersports Centre at Mar de Cristal, which offer top-quality tuition for all levels and an ample choice of craft, including catamarans, windsurfers, kayaks and yachts.
Why not diving? The Adventure Divers Scuba Centre at Las Lomas Village offers scuba-diving courses for all levels, including PADI programmes, and arranges off-shore diving sessions. The clear waters of the Mar Menor lagoon and the variety of its species make it an excellent place for snorkelling.
If speed is your thing then go-karting is a great way to get the adrenaline pumping and put your driving skills to the test. There is a go-kart track only ten minutes' drive from the resort on the road to Cabo de Palos.
And when you've had enough of the activities on offer you could always just chill-out by the pool!
