Marina del Este

4.1 (62 reviews)

Tucked into the sheltered bay of La Herradura near Almuñécar, Marina del Este (also known as Puerto Deportivo Punta de la Mona) is one of those spots that genuinely earns the word paradise — crystal-clear water, dramatic rocky coastline, and some of the best diving on Spain's Tropical Coast right on your doorstep. The marina sits in a naturally protected cove that keeps things calm and scenic year-round, and the surrounding area gives you easy access to both the beaches of La Herradura and the historic town of Almuñécar.
