Penarth Quays

Penarth, Wales, United Kingdom

Penarth Quays Marina is situated within the sheltered waters of Cardiff Bay and built around the basins of the historic Penarth Docks. The marina is an ideal location from which to enjoy Cardiff Bay and to explore the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary and its many ports.

The marina provides a safe berth for resident or visiting craft and has 24 hour access via the Cardiff Bay Barrage. The Barrage has created a 500-acre freshwater lake, which is heralding a new era for boating in the region and the development of an exciting and vibrant leisure waterfront amenity.


Location

Penarth Quays marina is situated on the South Wales coast in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Penarth has been a magnet for holiday makers and day visitors for more than a century. with its superb parks, beautiful seafront gardens and graceful esplanade, Penarth is justifiably known as the garden by the sea.

The sweeping esplanade is the perfect place for a gentle stroll or to sit and breathe the fresh, salty air. The many vantage points provide panoramic views across the Bristol Channel to the island of Flat Holm and Steep Holm. Penarth's famous 658 foot pier has been restored and is a regular port of call during summer months for the cruise ships Balmoral and the Waverley - the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world.

On Penarth's doorstep is Cardiff Bay, One of Europe's most exciting waterfront regeneration schemes.
The Cardiff Bay Barrage, which has cost in excess of £220 million has created an inland lake and also provides a pedestrian link and cycle link from Penarth to Cardiff with more than a million visitors a year expected to make the crossing. Alongside the Barrage and nestling in the lee of Penarth Head is Penarth Marina with attractive waterfront homes and smart yachts and cruisers.
