Puerto Marina Benalmádena

Puerto Marina was built in the 1980s as a fantasy of white apartment islands linked by bridges around more than 1,000 berths for boats up to 35 m, and it won the world's best marina award twice and has flown the Blue Flag since 1987. It is the busiest leisure port on the central coast, with restaurants, bars, boat trips, a sea-life aquarium and dolphin-watching departures, and it is a short walk from the Benalmádena Costa beaches and the Arroyo de la Miel train station. The harbor office is in the Capitanía building, open weekday mornings.
