There is a street just behind the restaurant where coaches can drop-off and parking is close at hand, if not in the streets behind the marina then in the underground car park. The marina is also right next to the beach, and the attractive paseo which runs along the Mazarrón urban seafront, so diners can eat straight from the beach and go for a shaded stroll along the paseo afterwards.
