Penarth Marina
Penarth Marina is a modern marina development in the outer harbour area of Penarth on the north shore of the Bristol Channel in the Vale of Glamorgan, providing berths for a significant number of leisure vessels and forming part of the broader regeneration of the Penarth waterfront. The marina is located immediately south of Cardiff Bay Barrage, close to the border between Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, and provides sailing and boating access to the Bristol Channel and the outer reaches of Cardiff Bay. The waterfront development around the marina includes residential apartments, a hotel and waterfront dining, creating an attractive harbourside environment. The marina serves as a base for sailing clubs and water sports activities on the Bristol Channel and is part of the wider regeneration of the Penarth seafront that has also seen the restoration and redevelopment of the Victorian pleasure pier as a cultural venue.
