Overview

Marina San Miguel is a specialized maritime facility located on the southern coast of Tenerife within the Amarilla Golf urbanization. It functions as a fully equipped marina with over 300 moorings for vessels up to 40 meters in length. The site is a primary gateway for deep-sea diving excursions and whale-watching tours due to its proximity to the protected marine zones of the Teno-Rasca shelf. The harbor features comprehensive nautical services including a travel lift, dry dock storage, and hull maintenance workshops. Visitors find a concentration of water sports schools offering PADI certification and equipment rental directly on-site. The facility is integrated into the larger Amarilla Golf resort infrastructure, providing immediate access to championship-level golf courses. The coastline here is defined by volcanic rock formations rather than sandy beaches, favoring cliffside vistas and clear waters for snorkeling. The marina serves as a central hub for Canary Islands boat charters navigating the Atlantic between Tenerife and La Gomera.

Insider tips

Book your diving or boat excursion at least 48 hours in advance, especially during the peak summer and winter holiday seasons.

Wear rubber-soled deck shoes to navigate the marina walkways safely, as volcanic stone surfaces can be slippery when wet.

Check the marine weather forecast specifically for the 'South of Tenerife' zone, as wind patterns can change abruptly in this coastal corridor.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim inside the active marina basin; utilize the designated coastal entry points for swimming and diving.

Etiquette

Maintain a low noise level near the moored vessels; observe standard 'no-wake' zone etiquette if renting a small watercraft.
