Marina Internacional (Torrevieja)

Marina Internacional de Torrevieja, run by the Club Náutico Marina Internacional, is a large marina inside the port of Torrevieja on the southern Costa Blanca, at the west end of the harbour by the Playa del Acequión. You can walk there from the town centre: the tourist office and the Museo del Mar y de la Sal are about 0.4 km away. The regional tourist board describes it as a big marina with a wide range of services, where boats from many countries come to spend the winter. It suits sailors, people who want a walk and a meal by the boats, and anyone combining the harbour with Torrevieja’s town beaches. Skip it if you want a quiet natural cove: this is a busy town port.

Access and parking

On foot: the marina is at the west end of Torrevieja’s port, a short walk from the centre along the Avenida Doctor Gregorio Marañón. The town centre is about 0.7 km away.

Parking: OpenStreetMap shows diagonal street parking right beside the marina, the underground Parking Plaza Miguel Hernández 0.38 km to the north-east, and paid street parking along the seafront 0.6–0.8 km to the south-east. In summer the street spaces fill fast; the underground car park is the safer bet.

By bus: OpenStreetMap shows town bus stops at Eras de la Sal (0.3 km), Gregorio Marañón 10 (0.3 km) and La Cibeles (0.4 km). Check current lines and times with the town’s bus service.

By sea: the marina lies inside the port’s breakwaters. OpenStreetMap shows the fuel berth and boat hoist on its eastern quay. Contact the club before arriving.

What to expect

The regional tourist board calls it “a large marina located inside the port”. It says the range of services and the size of the facilities do not stop it from being well kept, and that its quality and the climate of this part of the Alicante coast make it the choice of a large number of boats from all countries to spend the winter. It adds that the marina has a lively atmosphere all year.

Around the marina, OpenStreetMap shows:

• Bars and restaurants on the quay: including the Marina Club bar, Restaurante Nautic and Moby Dick, with many more along the Avenida Doctor Gregorio Marañón.
• Playa del Acequión: the town beach just west of the marina, 0.4 km away.
• Eras de la Sal: a theatre and event space on the waterfront, 0.25 km to the north-east, with the Monumento a las Habaneras nearby.

Walking round the marina is free. For berth rates, winter contracts, fuel and the club office’s hours, contact the club on the number above; we could not check them with the operator, so we do not print them. The underground car park and seafront street parking are paid; we could not check their rates. Restaurants and the museum set their own hours.
