Mar Menor ferry service back up and running
The ferry between Santiago de la Ribera and La Manga del Mar Menor will now run on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays
The popular Mar Menor ferry service is back up and running from Wednesday January 22 after being suspended earlier this month due to low water levels. Now that the tide level has risen sufficiently, the passenger ferry between Santiago de la Ribera and La Manga del Mar Menor has resumed.
However, the schedule has changed slightly: for the time being, the service will run three times a day, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays only.
The ferry times are:
- Departing from the jetty in Santiago de la Ribera at 11.30, 13.30 and 17.30
- Departing from Dársena 0, Puerto Tomás Maestre, in La Manga del Mar Menor at 10.15, 12.30 and 16.30
Passengers interested in using the ferry can check the website for further updates.
You are recommended to check departure times with the Ferry Mar Menor before travelling as weather conditions can cause alterations (phone number 0034 649 201 610).
