La Manga Club is a luxury resort, set among hillsides close to the coast, with first-class professional sports facilities and plenty of wheelchair-accessible shops, bars, restaurants. The resort has a local supermarket and offers a range of services, including pharmacy and a local English speaking doctor.  

Also at the La Manga Club resort, there is a five-star hotel, three golf courses, a 28-court tennis centre, eight FIFA-standard football pitches and a state of the art Wellness Centre. The local village of Los Belones provides additional services, shopping bars and restaurants. There is a large Eurospar supermarket at Cabo de Palos, about 10 km from the villa.

Cartagena

Cartagena is an ancient city, steeped in Roman and naval history, less than 20 miles from the villa.  The harbour area has been redeveloped and has good accessibility for wheelchairs and there are plenty of bars, shops and restaurants in the city. The ancient Roman amphitheatre is well worth a visit as well as the thousand-year-old tree in the heart of the old city.

There’s plenty of information about things to do in Cartagena on the city’s tourism website https://www.murciaturistica.es/en/cartagena/

I’ve been to each of the above beaches, and there is wheelchair access at all of them. You can sit at the bars and restaurants with lovely views, and with the last beach on the list, there are pathways on the sand near to the sea and there are also accessible toilets by the beachfront.
