Estepona Marina
Estepona Home
The Estepona Marina is situated at the west end
of the seafront promenade. This is a very pleasant place for a stroll
and there are some magnificent boats moored here. There are also
a wide variety of excellent bars and restaurants, open both midday
and in the evening while younger revelers can enjoy the late night
disco bars. There is a popular tourist market here on a Sunday morning.

After midnight (especially in the summer season)
the port comes alive. Numerous night clubs and discos seem to materialise
from nowhere. Most of them cater for the young and energetic. Visitors
will be amazed to see the very young and the very old dancing the
traditional Andalucían Sevillana well into the early (and
not so early) hours of the morning. Renaldo's on the corner is a
favourite meeting place, 'Chico Diez' is one of the liveliest and
'Attico' the place to be at the moment.

section which includes the establishments in the Marina.
The fishing port is located to the west of the marina.
Here you can watch the fishing boats land their catch. This can
take place throughout the day, but is generally during the early
morning, mid afternoon, and late at night. It is not possible to
buy fish but you can watch the auction process (as long as you don't
get in the way) which is followed by the covering of the fish pallets
with ice and loading them into the insulated vans for distribution
to local suppliers.
The
large and small fishing boats are located in the fishing port adjacent
(east) to the marina. Watch the catch landed, iced, sold and transported
away. Notice the fisherman's lock - ups where they store materials,
mend nets and have parties. Try the excellent fish restaurant here.
