Estepona Port, Costa del Sol, Andalucia, Spain

   
 
Located on the western Costa del Sol between Marbella and Sotogrande, Estepona is a modern, stylish marina yet can also claim a great fishing tradition. Much of the development that has taken place in Estepona in recent years has been around the marina end of the town.
The fishing activity based at this harbour is one of the most important on the Mediterranean side of the Andalucian coast. The fleet consists of over one hundred vessels divided among drag net fishing methods such as purse, hanging rope, dredging and trammel nets.

The most typical types of fish caught at Estepona´s fish market are sardines, scad, and white bait. Octopus, spiny cockle and shrimps are also to be found.

The harbour mouth is marked by the green buoy and a red one located respectively at the promontory of the dock and at the secondary dock. The fishing wharf measures 406 metres long with the bigger one being that which corresponds to the sea wall.
