About Dover Marina
Dover Marina is a contemporary waterfront development occupying the eastern edge of Dover's harbour front. The facility provides mooring spaces for leisure boats and yachts, while also functioning as a social hub with restaurants, cafes, and bars overlooking the water. The surrounding promenade offers pleasant walking paths, seating areas, and unobstructed views across the harbour entrance and towards the Channel beyond.
Originally developed to revitalise Dover's waterfront and create a modern leisure destination, the marina attracts both boat owners and visitors seeking a waterside experience. The combination of working harbour activity and leisure facilities makes it a lively spot, particularly in summer months. The marina provides a more contemporary counterpoint to Dover's historic attractions, and the restaurants and cafes offer convenient places to stop for refreshments while exploring the seafront.
