Description:
This Ria has some of the best scenery in the Rias Altas. The old Medieval town contrasts with the busy, commercial fishing port situated to seaward. The yacht harbor is very close to the town centre, up to a 3m dredged channel. The town gets very busy at the weekends as it is one of the major tourist destinations on the northern coast.
Position:
43° 42.64’N, 07° 35.66′ W (ria entrance)
Docking
Viveiro is the only marina between Ribadeo and Coruna, so it is popular despite its limited facilities. Visitor spaces are located at the entrance, however, these do have a tendency to fill up quickly when boats return from a day cruising in the Ria.
It’s possible to anchor off the town beach. Getting ashore by dinghy can be difficult, however. The marina permit anchored boats to alight at steps below the travel lift (not ideal at low tide). At high tide, it’s also possible to use the ramp at the base of the large supermarket car park on shore.
There are many delightful anchorages in the Ria, most opposite sandy beaches. Although they offer shelter from the S winds, they are exposed to ocean swell.
