 The Puerto Deportivo La Canaleta |
Punta Umbria is a busy resort and fishing harbour situated at the estuary of the river of the same name, 25 miles east of the Spanish/Portuguese border and five miles west of the entrance to the Rio Odiel, the main channel up to the historic Spanish port of Huelva. There are two marinas in the Rio de Punta Umbria, the Puerto Deportivo La Canaleta (owned by the Real Club Maritimo Y Tenis de Punta Umbria) one mile from the entrance and the Puerto Deportivo de Punta Umbria a further 0.75 miles further upriver. There is a further marina at the port of Mazagon in the Rio Odiel to the east.
