The marina is located within a village recognized as a Site of Artistic and Historical Interest due to its concentration of over 30 traditional stone granaries (horreos).
The facility is designed to blend into the unique granite-heavy aesthetic of the Rías Baixas coastline.
The harbor acts as a protected base for maritime access to the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park.
It is built on a site traditionally used by local artisanal fishermen for unloading small wooden boats known as dornas.
The local harbor microclimate is influenced by the proximity of the Ría de Pontevedra, which creates a deep-water inlet favored for sailing throughout the year.
Mariña de Combarro is a modern marina facility located in the historic fishing village of Combarro, Pontevedra. The harbor integrates contemporary docking infrastructure with the traditional granite architecture of the surrounding Poio coastline. It serves as a primary hub for recreational sailing and maritime tourism in the Ría de Pontevedra. The facility features a controlled-access pontoon system and comprehensive nautical services for visiting yachts and small vessels. It sits directly adjacent to the village's famous horreos, the stone granaries that line the waterfront. The marina functions as the main gateway to the Ría, facilitating boat trips to the nearby Ons and Tambo islands.

Visit during low tide to walk along the coastal wall and observe the base of the granite horreos from the beach level.
Book boat excursions to the Ons or Tambo islands well in advance, as berths and passenger spots are limited.
Explore the narrow stone alleys of the village immediately behind the marina for historical architecture.
Do not attempt to park in the narrow streets of the old town; use the designated outer parking areas near the marina entrance.
Maintain a quiet demeanor near the residential fishing quarters; wear non-slip shoes for navigating the stone quayside.
