description
We called the harbor to see if we could get a spot, and unfortunately, the guy who answered couldn’t speak English and I don't speak Spanish. I had to ask the young people to call and book with their school Spanish. Once there, we received a very nice welcome at the dock (note that it’s the inner docks, the outer ones belong to another marina). We are docked sideways with our sailboat, which is 16 m long and 2.9 m deep. Emilio, the guy at the reception, is a gem and speaks good English. However, he wondered why we came here, as it's really not a harbor where tourists go. Immediately near the marina, there aren’t many restaurants, but if you go a little further and walk along the boardwalk, you’ll find both restaurants, kiosks, and very large, sparsely populated beaches.
Showers and toilets are completely fine. There is also a pool on the premises that we can use and it is incredibly appreciated as it is really hot right now. There are also paddle courts nearby, but we haven't asked if they can be used.
The marina has a restaurant and bar. So far we’ve only tried the bar, and a glass of wine, a beer, and two ice creams cost 11 euros, and the guy at the bar also brought out a starter on the house.
The harbor cost 45 euros/night for our boat.
If you're looking for nicer restaurants, you’ll have to take a walk to the city center, which takes about 20-30 minutes, and a taxi takes 5 minutes and costs about 7-8 euros. Here you will find larger grocery stores and everything else a city center can offer.
A few minutes from the marina, there is a very nice boardwalk with quite a few restaurants and bars. A visit to the restaurant Sunahra Beach Club is recommended. Tip: book a table.
The only less pleasant thing was the walk between the marina and the beach, as you go through a ferry camp with parking lots.
I can highly recommend the marina if you want to take it easy without all the tourists and their shops, etc.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 2 hours and 37 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 April 02:17 PM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
