Full Description & Details
Porto de Mugardos is a marina on the northern shore of the Ria de Ferrol, in the municipality of Mugardos in A Coruna province, Galicia. It sits across the water from the city of Ferrol, and the ground-truth location places it within the Ares area of the Ferrol estuary. The marina is operated by Portos de Galicia, the regional port authority, and is one of the small harbours along this stretch of the ria.
The marina is a tidal harbour, and the OSM data marks it as an area with a fee for use. Overnight stays are permitted. The harbour is classified as a marina in the seamark system, and it provides power supply at the berths. The port is part of the Portos de Galicia network, and its spaces and uses were formally delimited in a document approved in October 2023, covering both Mugardos and the nearby port of O Seixo.
Facilities at Porto de Mugardos are basic but functional for a stopover. The marina offers berths for recreational craft, with electricity available. The operator is Portos de Galicia, and the port is listed in the regional register of installations for temporary berth authorisation. The address is given as Ria de, 15620 Ferrol, A Coruna, Spain, and the marina is reported to be open 24 hours.
Approach is within the sheltered waters of the Ria de Ferrol, which is a deep and well-marked estuary. The marina is exposed to the ria's tidal currents, so berthing should be timed with the tide. The port is managed under the regional regulations of Portos de Galicia, and the 2023 delimitation document defines the port's service zone and uses. There is no source information on fuel, water, or repair facilities, so skippers should plan accordingly.
How to get there
Porto de Mugardos lies on the north side of the Ria de Ferrol, opposite the city of Ferrol. The approach is via the ria, which is a large, sheltered estuary with deep water. The marina is at the town of Mugardos, and the harbour is marked as a marina in the seamark data.
There is no source-provided bearing or waypoint, so navigation should rely on the standard charts for the Ria de Ferrol and the local harbour lights. Land access is from the town of Mugardos, which is connected by road to the surrounding area. The nearest major centre is Ferrol, across the ria, and the address places the marina in the 15620 Ferrol postal area.
There is no source information on VHF contact, formalities, or a specific approach channel, so skippers should contact Portos de Galicia for berth arrangements and check local notices.
