Full Description & Details
Puerto deportivo de Cudillero, also known as Cuideiru, is a small fishing and sports harbour set directly in the village of Cudillero on the Asturian coast of northern Spain. The harbour sits immediately west of Punta Rebollera and is sheltered by two breakwaters that run from its eastern and western ends, along with the Las Colinas rocks. The village's colourful houses rise in terraces around the port like an amphitheatre, and the marina is right at the centre of town, with no distance between the berths and the streets.
The harbour dries at low tide, so it is suitable only for small craft and fishing boats. The basin has a maximum depth of 8 metres and a minimum of 3 metres, with a mouth draught of 5 metres and a mouth width of 40 metres. There are 83 fixed berths, all of which are usually occupied, plus 20 anchor moorings in the harbour. The maximum recommended length is 30 metres, though the maximum draft is 3 metres. Overnight stays are allowed. The new basin is formed by two breakwaters, the Dique del Moro and the Dique de Abrigo, along with the Isla de la Cruz, and is entered through a channel built under the shelter of the old west breakwater.
Facilities at the marina include water and electricity at the moorings, fuel in diesel and unleaded, a crane, a dry dock ramp, a dry dock, a pressure washer, and a marina seca. There is rubbish collection, oil and hazardous waste collection, and waste water collection. The village has supermarkets, a pharmacy, restaurants, and hotels. The Club Nautico Cudillero runs the marina and can be reached by phone at 671663887 or through its website.
Approach lights are at Punta Rebollera, with the east breakwater showing Gp D(3)R 9s 10m 3M and the west breakwater showing Gp D(3)VR 9s 5m 2M. The marina is usually full, so calling ahead on VHF channel 9 is advisable. The harbour dries at low tide, so timing entry with the tide is essential. Distances to nearby ports are Aviles 9 nautical miles, Luarca 21, Navia 30, Tapia 41, and Ribadeo 45.
