There's also an arts and crafts centre (Bédar Arts Centre) offering ceramics and painting on selected mornings a gym and a municipal outdoor swimming pool.

Bédar was a centre for mining in the 19th century and where once railways took iron ore to the port at Garrucha in their place are a variety of easy walks/cycle paths encompassing the villages of Los Pinos, Serena and Bédar itself.

Mojacar Playa with its beaches and beach bars is only 25 minutes by car. There are also good beaches at Garrucha and a designated "naturist zone" at Vera, however if you head south into the Cabo de Gata National Park you'll find various 'off-the-beaten-track' isolated sandy beaches.
