El Mojón: Beach, Salt Flats and Nature Trails

El Mojón is the northernmost point of the Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar Regional Park.

Nature

The Senda de Los Tarays runs parallel to a freshwater canal that surrounds the salt flats and flows into the Mediterranean. It leads north along the promenade of Playa del Mojón to the provincial boundary of Alicante. Visitors can observe various bird species on the Senda de Los Tarays. The trail is easy and takes approximately 20 minutes without breaks.

Coast

In the vicinity of El Mojón, the beach of Playa de El Mojón on the Murcia side borders the Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar Regional Park. Playa El Mojón lies on the southern edge of the municipality of Pilar de la Horadada. Playa El Mojón is used by anglers. Playa El Mojón is easily accessible on foot or by car; a local bus stop is located nearby.

Trails and Exercise

A Nordic walking route ran from Las Higuericas towards El Mojón, continuing along the salt-flat trail of San Pedro del Pinatar to the port of San Pedro del Pinatar. A Hibernis Mare Nordic walking route from Las Higuericas towards El Mojón was scheduled for 24 May 2026; the planned route was approximately 10 kilometres long, moderately difficult and had an elevation difference of 30 metres.

Duration, distance, difficulty level and elevation difference can be considered side by side. A short trail and a route of approximately ten kilometres represent different time and exercise frameworks; you can consider these details separately from the beach and event dates. For a day in El Mojón, this results in a clear distinction between a short nature trail without breaks and a planned Nordic walking route with its own distance and elevation details. The different figures describe different route profiles and do not need to be combined into a single outing.

Festivals

Pilar de la Horadada's 2026 events calendar included a separate festival programme for El Mojón. The Fiestas de El Mojón were scheduled from Tuesday, 11 August, to Sunday, 16 August 2026. The 2025 festival programme for El Mojón included a procession through the town's streets in honour of Saint San Roque, accompanied by the Unión Musical de San Pedro.

For El Mojón, festival dates and local traditions therefore sit alongside information about the beach and trails. The Fiestas follow the calendar, while Senda de Los Tarays and Playa El Mojón have their own characteristics in terms of route, location and use. These different types of information can be considered separately when planning a trip.

For a holiday apartment in El Mojón, travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions can represent different aspects of your own planning. These details stand alongside the local topics: the beach, salt-flat trails and festival dates each represent separate focal points that can be considered separately when putting together your trip.
