This is a very new marina. It is on the south side of the bay. It is very close to the airport and one could theoretically walk to the marina. In practice this would be a long walk from the terminal. The taxis from the airport to the marina take about 10 minutes so negotiate your price before starting the journey.

The marina is huge and not yet fully developed. In the future there will be little shops and cafes, but they have not yet been built. There is one floating cafe only.

The trolleys are collected and returned to the mall regularly.

*August 2009: Tied alongside Old Commercial (Brin) Quay. Very few bollards, but can tie to metal plates that lift close to edge of quay. Only charge was official who came round in the morning charging €5 for garbage irrespective of whether you had garbage. Several boats anchored off to S of quay. Lively and attractive town. Good chandleries. I liked it. --[[User:Wayward|Wayward]] [[Image:United Kingdom Icon.png]]
