Hazards

CURRENT Lateral currents along La Manga strip — can sweep you north. Don't fight it, paddle in at an angle.
RIP Current runs north along the La Manga strip on NE swell — don't fight it, angle your paddle back in rather than going straight against it.
LOCALS Casual La Manga holiday crowd — friendly, not much localism given the resort setting.
BOATS Boat traffic in the channel between Mediterranean and Mar Menor. Stay on the beach break side.
