The entrance to the Rio Guadiana lies about 12 miles east of [[Tavira]] and is easily identified on approach by a 600-metre long mole projecting from the western side of the river channel. The entrance is buoyed from about one mile off. Once the mole is passed, the deeper water is on the port side of the channel. The entrance to the marina of Vila Real is just over two miles upriver on the west bank. Note: the strong tidal cross-current at the entrance can make entry dangerous at anything other than slack water. The current can run at up to 4.0 knots on the ebb. | The entrance to the Rio Guadiana lies about 12 miles east of [[Tavira]] and is easily identified on approach by a 600-metre long mole projecting from the western side of the river channel.

assistance may be provided by calling in advance on VHF channel 09. Yachts tie up in the marina alongside on the long wavebreak pontoon to starboard (which doubles as the arrivals pontoon). There is a minimum depth of 3.0 metres on the pontoon. Note that it may be necessary to reverse into or out of the berth here at certain states of tide, since there is very little room to manoeuvre. | assistance may be provided by calling in advance on VHF channel 09.

Porto Desportivo do Guadiana is situated on the west bank of the Guadiana river, which forms the eastern sea boundary between Portugal and Spain (Ayamonte in Spain sits on the opposite bank). The marina offers a total of 360 berths for yachts of up to 20 metres and maximum draft of 3.0 metres. Access can be tricky at certain states of tide.
Marina radio contact
Call Porto Desportivo do Guadiana on VHF channel 12 or 16. Otherwise enter the marina and berth alongside on the long wavebreak pontoon to starboard (which doubles as the arrivals pontoon). The marina offices are on the quay at the shore end of the pontoon.
The entrance to the Rio Guadiana lies about 12 miles east of Tavira and is easily identified on approach by a 600-metre long mole projecting from the western side of the river channel. The entrance is buoyed from about one mile off. Once the mole is passed, the deeper water is on the port side of the channel. The entrance to the marina of Vila Real is just over two miles upriver on the west bank. Note: the strong tidal cross-current at the entrance can make entry dangerous at anything other than slack water. The current can run at up to 4.0 knots on the ebb.
