Hiring a boat in El Ejido
Almerimar is a large marina at the foot of Punta Entinas, in El Ejido, and its 3 rental companies have a sailing focus unusual on this coast: two advertise skippered hire, one sailing boats and one motor yachts, plus fishing and diving trips. From the harbour you head west to the Punta Entinas-Sabinar nature reserve, with wild beaches and dunes, or east to Roquetas and Aguadulce, 24 km away with 7 more companies. With a licence and a full day, Cabo de Gata is about 25 miles.
The season runs from April to October, with several companies open all year. The harbour is sheltered and the Poniente coast is open and sandy; the levante closes the exit some days.
