Caernarfon Marina
Visiting by boat
Caernarfon Marina sits right at Victoria Dock, putting you within walking distance of one of the best-preserved medieval walled towns in Europe, with Caernarfon Castle looming impressively nearby. Watching the sun go down over the Menai Straits with the boats rocking gently around you is genuinely hard to beat. The marina offers modern mooring facilities and easy access to the town's shops, restaurants, and centuries of Welsh history.
