About

Penarth Marina is a picturesque waterside destination located at the mouth of Cardiff Bay, just half a mile from the centre of Penarth. Once part of the historic docks, it has been transformed into a modern marina filled with yachts and boats, offering a tranquil setting for a stroll or a meal by the water. The area blends maritime charm with contemporary living, creating a peaceful escape just a short distance from the bustle of Cardiff.

The marina is very picturesque and is a lovely spot for a walk to see the boats, plus there are a couple of excellent restaurants, as well as easy access to the nearby Barrage and coastal paths. With its relaxed atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, Penarth Marina is a popular spot for walkers, cyclists and anyone looking to enjoy the calm of the waterfront in South Wales.

Penarth Marina is one of the stops of Aquabus, which is the water taxi link to Cardiff Bay and Cardiff city centre.
