Docking

This is an important naval port as well as being a busy commercial and fishing harbour. Care should be taken on entering due to the volume of shipping.

Anchoring is not permitted within the harbour.

The Royal Regatta Club Tel:(34) 96 8501507 manages the berthing. The Club Nautico is a fisherman's club with no berths (but an excellent tapas bar!).

A report in 2006 says that the commercial harbour has now been extended by the building of a mole stretching NNE from the small island, Islote de Escombreras.

The marina to the east of the "old" marina, previously used for super-yachts, is now the usual one for visitors. Berth where directed (24hr attendaant).
