Explore: Almerimar
General Info
This port and city are situated 30 km west of Almeria, and 5 nm west of Punta Sabinal lighthouse, in the bay of Las Entinas.
Position 36° 41.78’N, 02° 47.42’W.
Whilst not the most attractive of stopovers, Almerimar is inexpensive, it has fuel, a real supermarket, plenty of good restaurants, reliable internet, and a repair and services environment conducive to cruisers. A good choice for getting work done on your boat and perhaps a good spot for wintering your boat as costs are low.
See the report Impressions of Almerimar for feedback from cruisers who have visited here.
Docking
The approach is straight forward with no real difficulties even at night, but can be rough (note also that sea shallows from 1000+ to 20 metres within about a mile).
The entrance is more sheltered than it looks but totally exposed to the south. The channel is well marked.
On arrival, tie up at the Control Tower/Fuel dock for berth allocation.
Security: Security at the marina is reported to be good with card operated gates and CCTV. However, see comments below about bicycle theft.
