Fuengirola Marina: Complete Guide for Sailors and Visitors

The Fuengirola Marina dates back to the mid-19th century, when it was built to export raisins from the fields of Mijas and Fuengirola. What was once a simple commercial pier has evolved into one of the liveliest and best-equipped marinas on the entire Costa del Sol. Today it beautifully combines traditional fishing heritage with modern facilities and a welcoming atmosphere right on the seafront promenade.

Located right in the heart of Fuengirola, the marina is surrounded by restaurants, bars and shops and shares the space with the working fishing harbour. It offers more than 280 berths in total and is ideal for visiting yachtsmen as well as tourists who want to enjoy the sea without any hassle.

It’s a vibrant place all year round — perfect for an evening stroll, a drink overlooking the boats, or booking a boat trip. Boat owners will find all the services they need for maintenance and an excellent base for coastal cruising.
