The Costa del Sol's 11 marinas stretch along the whole of its length and are one of the major tourist attractions in the coastal resorts.
Their flair, history and international reputation have made the marinas the number one berth for owners of the world's most luxurious yachts and the latest, most original sports boats. A charming setting in which to stroll and admire these exquisite vessels.
