San Pedro del Pinatar is a small town and municipality in the Region of Murcia, southeastern Spain.

The municipality is situated at the northern end of Murcia's Mediterranean coastline, the Costa Cálida, and borders the province of Alicante.

A few years later they dominated a great part of it, including the current San Pedro del Pinatar.

The convenient access to the coastal salty lagoon of Mar Menor allowed Berber pirates to easily disembark, destroy the region and take the loot.

[5] From War of the Spanish Succession (1700 to 1713), the people in the Reino of Murcia (an administrative division belonging to the Crown of Castile whose status was similar to an ordinary kingdom) allied with Philip V of Spain.

The supporters of the Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor, attacked Cartagena, its port and the region related to Mar Menor in 1706.

[5] During the last years of the early modern period, there were fewer privateer attacks; as a result, there was an economic rise and an increase in population.

After the death of Ferdinand VII of Spain, liberalism was reestablished and San Pedro achieved its own local government again on 16 September 1836.
