The Ria de Vigo is a 15 mile long arm of the sea, protected across its entrance by the Islas Cies, providing a safe, sheltered harbour. There are numerous anchorages, the most attractive being near the entrance, especially on east side of Islas Cies. A few berths may be available for visitors at the marina run by the yacht club, Real Club Nautico. A good range of repair facilities are available in Vigo.
