The Marina Cortez is a charming harbor equipped with a few restaurants and countless sails of boats. It marks the southwestern end of the Malecón boardwalk and its accompanying sandy strand. Make your way along the docks and pick out your favorites from the yachts, speed boats and sailing vessels.
Walk south from the Malecón Kiosk for about 15 minutes to get here, appreciating the stunning coastal views along the way. You’ll also pass a number of sculptures and monuments.
The marina, which contains more than 50 spaces for boats, is sheltered by a serene cove. Admire the variety of colors and materials making up the vessels. Watch the sunset turn the sky red and provide a backdrop for silhouettes of the boats.
Myriad restaurants surround the port, offering local seafood in multiple specialties. Sit at one of the tables on the terraces overlooking the water and boats or watch a game at the sports bar. Consider bringing food and wine for a picnic in this romantic marina. After dinner go for an evening stroll between the trees, which are encased in beads of light.
Pay a daily fee to moor your boat here or access the harbor and its restaurants on foot for free. If you choose to moor your boat in the harbor, you can use the electricity and water for a fee. In the morning go for a jog or leisurely stroll along the Malecón.
Notice how the marina has a sleek and practical design, with palm trees lining the docks. Architects designed the harbor with innovative anchoring systems.
The Marina Cortez sticks out slightly from the coastline of La Paz, overlooking the Gulf of California. It is just southwest of the Zona Comercial area and its lively Malecón Kiosk. Visit nearby sights such as the Torre del Vigía, the Paraíso del Mar sculpture and Cuauhtémoc Park.
