I,v been enjoying living aboard part time herr in Marina de las Dunas, Guardamar del Segura, Alicante, for 5 years now. Love the place and the many great places a few days sailing can reach.
Unfortunately the harbour enterance is now impassable even for my Contest 29s 1.35mt draft. Its been an ongoing problem for a couple of years now and some boats haven't been out in 2 years.
No sign of the promiced dredging that was to begin in January and according to local info the costs have trebled from the original estimate of €300,000 that was approved by the council to ovef €1,000,000. On of the big delays is the disposal of the mud from the river mouth as its has to be buried in land fill due to pollution concerns.
Anyway its not goin to get sorted anytime soon so I think my only sensible course of action is to move.
I love the Spanish Med and am looking for a new. Marina. Marina de las Dunas was a great place and I hope to find somewere even better. One of the great things about my present bert is it's about 5km outside the town center so quiet except for boaters and others who enjoy the nature park that surrounds the harbor.
Any help in finding my next location welcome.
