Marina de Portimão
Highlight • Structure
Located on the safest harbour in Portugal, sheltered from the prevailing winds, in the wide estuary of the river Arade with its deep-waters, watched over by the forts of Santa Catarina and S. João do Arade, Marina de Portimão is part of a sea-facing tourist development, extending over an area of around 25 hectares. It has support facilities for recreational water sports, continuous surveillance, outdoor and covered car parking, bike locking setup, an accessible beach, a hotel, a whole shopping centre including restaurants, shops, bars and an ocean swimming pool.
As well as being the base for some of the main maritime tourism operators, who run daily tours along the beautiful coastline and offer a variety of leisure and sports activities, they also have a modern and complete boatyard for repairs, located on the left bank of the River Arade.
It is also the venue for international sailing and power boat competitions and an official training base for professional teams from all over the world.
