Marina António Duarte Silva

Named after former Portuguese Minister of the Sea and local mayor António Duarte Silva (1941–2011), this marina sits at the mouth of the Mondego River, where Atlantic swells meet one of Portugal's longest rivers. You're right on the doorstep of Figueira da Foz's wide sandy beach and the lively town centre, with Coimbra — one of Europe's oldest university cities — just 45 minutes inland. It's a genuinely well-positioned base on the central Portuguese coast, with the estuary setting giving you a distinctive riverside-meets-ocean atmosphere you don't find at most Atlantic marinas.
