Guide to the Costa Del Sol
Hugging the coastline of the Costa del Sol, in the region of Andalucia is this little piece of paradise. At the heart of this fast developing centre is a wonderful, quaint marina built with more than 300 berths. There are no high-rise hotels here but ample apartments for rent. The area is undergoing a property boom. Along the waterfront is a wide variety of restaurants and bars, topped with apartments looking out over the boats although there are very few shops in the port. The port was once described as the next Puerto Banus. It has however retained its charm and its quiet environment. The port is flanked by two very long, sandy beaches with their own beach bars. One beach stretches to the left as far as Sabinillas and on to Estepona the other winds round the coast to Sotogrande.
Over the last two years, several new blocks of apartments have been built around the marina which has to some effect closed the port in a little. Property development continues in the area, especially on the other side of the N340 at Los Hidalgos and Duquesa Golf where several new urbanisations have been built.
The main N340 highway passes Duquesa which is accessed by an underpass. On the other side of the road is Duquesa Golf, a wonderful course with views over the sea and its own hotel. Golf villas and apartments line the edge of the course. Property is being built here at an alarming rate. There is an ever-increasing English speaking population here. In the summer months there is a tiny street market along the waterside offering all manner of local goods. The waterfront to the marina is closed to normal traffic making it a safe haven for children.

As well as modern pleasure vessels, the port is still home to a working fishing fleet and daily catches are landed here. There are all marine facilities here including storage. The port offers very reasonably priced berths although there is often a long waiting list. There are also refuelling facilities for boats in the port. The boatyard offers renovation space and a lifting service.
Other facilities in the area include;A campsite and caravan park on the N340 Highway about 1 mile from Duquesa Port.A petrol station on the N340 Highway about half a mile from Duquesa Port.Sunday market and car boot sale at Sabinillas, two minutes walk from the port.Specialist golf holidays based in the port.
