The town and marina of Hondarribia lie on the coast of [[NW Spain]] on the border with [[France]], from which it is separated by the Rio Bidasoa.  On the other side of the river is the French harbour and anchorage of Hendaye.  As a border town, Hondarribia has suffered in several conflicts with the armies of France, the last of which resulted in the partial destruction of its town walls.  However, it remains an attractive and colourful fishing port, with a historic old quarter and several fine buildings.  At the N end of the town, close to the entrance to the river, is the large and sheltered marina of Puerto Deportivo de Hondarribia.  Entry is possible in most conditions, but could be challenging in very strong N winds.

The town and marina of Hondarribia lie on the coast of NW Spain on the border with France, from which it is separated by the Rio Bidasoa. On the other side of the river is the French harbour and anchorage of Hendaye. As a border town, Hondarribia has suffered in several conflicts with the armies of France, the last of which resulted in the partial destruction of its town walls. However, it remains an attractive and colourful fishing port, with a historic old quarter and several fine buildings. At the N end of the town, close to the entrance to the river, is the large and sheltered marina of Puerto Deportivo de Hondarribia. Entry is possible in most conditions, but could be challenging in very strong N winds.

Local Weather

Hondarribia is largely sheltered from the prevailing NW winds, but strong northerlies can raise an unpleasant swell in the bay outside.

Approach and Navigation

The entrance to the River Bidasoa lies on the W side of a long sandy bay and is protected by two long training walls (not to be confused with the small commercial harbour of Puerto Berria to starboard on entry). Entry is possible in most conditions, although very strong N winds would make entry challenging if not potentially dangerous. Puerto Deportivo de Hondarribia lies just inside the entrance on starboard side.

Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)

Hondarribia is a port of entry/exit to Spain.

Submit details about facilities for checking in - location of immigration & customs, etc.

Berthing Options

Visiting yachts have only one option, to moor in the marina of Puerto Deportivo de Hondarribia. While it is possible to anchor in the river, all the suitable anchoring locations are on the French side of the river, since the border passes close to the W bank.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

Puerto Deportivo de Hondarribia - offers 672 berths for yachts up to 18 metres in depths of up to 3.0 metres. Berthing is on finger pontoons. Water and electricity on the pontoons. Fuel berth.

Telephone: +34 943 641711. Website. Email.

Anchorages

The only suitable spot to anchor is in the Baie de Chingoudy off the French town of Hendaye on the E bank of the river. There are numerous small craft moorings here but it is possible to anchor clear of them in 4.0 - 5.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and mud and shelter is good in virtually all conditions.
