Boating

The Costa del Sol offers wonderful opportunities for boating, which is a popular pastime. The possibilities range from luxury power boats or yachts to modest dinghies. If you don’t own a boat you can hire one in most marinas for a hour, a day or even a week. If you own a boat it must be moored at one of the coast’s marinas. Fishing trips are also available from most fishing ports and marinas.
