Verified operatorsCaptained or bareboatConcierge offers in 24hNestled along the stunning Costa Brava in the province of Girona, Catalonia, Port de la Colera is a modest yet enchanting marina that has evolved from a humble fishing village into a recreational harbor. Situated at approximately 42.264° N, 3.173° E, just north of the town of L’Escala, this marina offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and water-based activities. Historically serving the small fishing village of Colera, Port de la Colera was upgraded in the early 2000s into a recreational harbor with basic slipways and a small promenade. Today, it is renowned for its water-based activities such as sailing, kayaking, stand-up paddle-boarding, scuba-diving, and snorkeling on the rocky coves of the Cap de Creus Natural Park. The main local nautical business, Club Nàutic Colera, runs a sailing school, boat-rental fleet, and a seasonal seafood restaurant that serves fresh catches from the bay.
