Cabopino Marina: Complete Guide to Facilities, Berths and Leisure in Marbella

Cabopino Marina is one of the most attractive and peaceful marinas on the Costa del Sol. Located in Marbella, just 10–12 minutes from the city centre, it is surrounded by pine forests and the impressive Dunes of Artola, a protected natural monument. This marina perfectly combines excellent nautical facilities with a stunning natural setting – ideal for holidaymakers seeking quiet beaches and good restaurants, as well as boat owners who prefer a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

The marina offers 169 berths for boats between 6 and 15 metres in length and provides all essential services: fuel seven days a week, a 24-hour workshop, hull cleaning, waste disposal and round-the-clock security. Thanks to its seafront location, you can enjoy beach bars (chiringuitos) and restaurants serving fresh sardine skewers (espetos) and classic pescaíto frito with views over the boats.

A small but very well-equipped marina – perfect for a stopover, a few relaxing days on the water or as a base to explore the Costa del Sol by boat.
