Punta Del Garda, Azores. Marina Extension nears completion.

Had the pleasure of visiting recently. The new 477 berth extension is almost ready, date still a bit of a mystery though but should be soon. This will be a very attractive option for those cruising the Azores, conveniently right by the town. good R and R opportunities (!) plus victualling, etc.
From a purely personal viewpoint, I much prefer this place to Horta with its long queues to get in, rafting, etc. And I don't like Cafe Peter Sport (heresay I know).



Includes a convenient building for Sea Harrier pilots to practise on.





For any other information, the Marina website is www.marina.jappdl.pt

The staff are very good and speak good English. The showers, though, have gone badly downhill and mar an otherwise well run place.
