Along the 3000 km coast of the Spanish Mediterranean there are about 150 marina facilities. The coast between Gibraltar and Cabo de San Antonio is called Costa del Sol (the Sun Coast) and Costa Blanca (the White Coast).
The author visited 44 marinas in these areas and reported the characteristics of marina development and the recreational boating found. The quality and quantity of the competitive supply of marina facilities are adequately balanced in these areas.
