The marina here offers good shelter and facilities at excellent value.
On arrival, call the marina on Channel 9 for berthing guidance. If they don't answer you can easily moor at the fuel dock which is at the entrance to the marina. The marina office is located opposite the fuel dock in the building with a high tower. There is often swell outside the marina so it's best to berth inside.
There is a deposit for the electrical plug (you will have to wire to your cable) and an adaptor for the water connection (there is no potable water available in the harbour, so plan on using bottled water for drinking). The marina will take credit cards. There is a deposit for the shower and toilets which are a five-minute walk on the opposite side of the marina.
Melilla is a duty-free port and good buys are available here. There is no VAT on purchases.
There is 24-hour security in the marina, however, it is a good idea to secure cockpit lockers and not leave valuables unsecured on deck as petty theft can be a problem in town. This is particularly important if berthed on the quay opposite from the marina office which has less security.
The historically interesting, Art Nouveau old town, is easily reached by foot.
