SAMM (the Sailing Association Mar Menor) can be regarded as the sailing Centre of the Mar Menor and surrounding district. Members and friends come from the local towns and other European countries to sail and socialise. Membership of one of the associated Groups is required to be able to sail one of their boats. The sailing groups are listed below by category, where you can find out all the latest news, race results, and social events.
After the long humid summer, the SAMM Golf Society visited Villa Martin - see the results below
Our next outing , in the planning, is La Manga but we need more numbers than our society currently has; so, if you would like to join our society for this game we would love to hear from you sammgolfsociety@gmail.com
Once again the SAMM Golf Society is in full swing , this time at Villa Martin on 12th September. The weather promises to be more favourable and the course is in good condition .
Therefore, if you have hesitated before but would like an outing, or if you are a new member and would like to renew your golfing prowess, then please send me an email and join us for our usual round of pain and merriment .
Discounted price for the day is 65€ for 18 holes and a buggy. 12 have already signed up, but 20 tees are available.

Lottie. 3 crew on board went to Tabaca Isla over night lovely sail over 5.5 hrs
It was nice to have a breeze.
The anchorage in the evening there was only 9 yachts, 2 crew slept on deck , but where wakened at 7.00 am when fog horn blowing to see police and lots of safety boats.
Then we looked to the land to see lots of swimmers waiting to start swimming
It took them about 10 min for everyone to be in the water.
They went over to the main land which is 900m it was lovely to see them start
while on board having a nice coffee or tea
We had to motor sail back .
