Full Description & Details
Porto Deportivo de Ribeira is a marina in Santa Uxia de Ribeira, the main town on the north shore of the Ria de Arousa in Galicia, Spain. It sits directly beside the busy fishing port of Ribeira, one of Spain's most important inshore fishing harbours, and is fully integrated into the town's urban area. The marina is protected by a breakwater oriented to the northwest, offering calm water that contrasts with the activity of the fishing docks. It is a practical base for exploring the Ria de Arousa and the Barbanza coast.
The marina has 239 berths and is equipped with water, power, a crane, and fuel. Overnight stays are permitted. The holding is in a sheltered basin, though the exact depth is not specified in the sources. The marina is operated by the Club Nautico de Ribeira, and the facilities are accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Onshore, the marina is at the edge of the town centre, with the municipal market and fish market (lonxa) nearby, and restaurants along the seafront promenade. The marina offers boat rental, sailing courses (light and cruising), recreational diving, and hosts numerous regattas. The town has a nautical club, and the seafront includes a 2 km sandy beach and a wooden walkway connecting several beaches.
There are no specific safety warnings in the sources, but the marina's location next to a major fishing port means skippers should be alert to fishing vessel traffic. The best season is not stated, but the northwest-facing breakwater suggests protection from prevailing winds. There are no noted restrictions beyond the general marina rules. For berth availability and reservations, contact the club by phone or email.
