The privately-owned Miri Marina, although sited rather far from the town, is a convenient berth and in a well-sheltered lagoon. It is clearned every day from floating rubbish with pontoons that are well maintained and simple but adequate premises.
It is situated south of the main port of Miri, 2km from Miri town and 1km from Marina ParkCity (a newly developed residential area with shops and restaurants).
The marina entrance is easily identified by the huge statue of a Sea Horse (the emblem of Miri) on the port hand side, with the Cococabana complex where they have WE markets. There is a low, rocky, breakwater on the starboard side, and it is recommended to favor this side on entry.
The entrance channel was dredged several years ago and there is a pontoon on the port-hand side. This is for the supply boats for the oil platforms along the coast and is regularly used between 0500 and 2200. Besides a little noise, this has no negative effect on yachts at the marina.
Be aware that there can be breaking waves outside the marina entrance if a large swell is running. A night entrance is not recommended.
Access into the town is easy by taxi, bike or bus. It is approx. a 45 min. walk. Like anywhere, if leaving your boat here, remove any portable items from the decks before you leave.
Beware of the marina´s resident crocodile when carrying out underwater jobs.
Alternatively, the Miri river is deep enough and can be navigated a few miles before reaching a low bridge. But there is lots of big commercial traffic and not easy to find any safe place to anchor out of the way.
