Default La Manga Mar Menor area

Hi
Can anyone point me in the right direction for nice restaurants (travelling with 2 small children under 3 years and grandparents), bars, beaches, sites etc.

Many Thanks

Have you been there before - we stayed at an apartment overlooking the Marina in October 2006 - it was wonderful - hope you have a car - as difficult travelling by bus! There were some nice restaurants on the marina as I recall.

First time to the area, we are hiring a car from the airport for the week.

We normally go to Altea/Calpe as the in laws live there.

Would anyone recommend a trip to Murcia?
