Locations
The Oeiras Marina provides quick access to an excellent sailing area. It offers modern facilities, restaurants, shops, showers, security, and parking, all ideal for supporting sailing activities.
Its location at the entrance to the River Tagus allows sailing in open sea with clear waters or in the more sheltered waters of the river.
The proximity to Cascais and Belém, as well as the quick access to destinations such as Sesimbra, is an additional advantage.
