What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Puerto América Marina offers convenient access to Cadiz's historic old town, with helpful staff and good berthing availability. However, visitors should be aware of potential noise from nearby venues on weekends and limited amenities directly within the marina itself. The walk to the city is generally considered pleasant, but some find the on-site facilities basic.
"Medium sized Marina about a Kilometre and a half walk or bike ride to the start of Casco Historico (old town) Cadiz. Usually good berthing availability though much swell from passing ferrries in outer marina. Marina office is well manned in working hours with 24 hour marineros on duty for berthing and fuel. No discounts other than for annual berthing."
