This is where locals come for sunset drinks and tourists hop on dolphin-watching boats. The Port de Saint-Gilles isn’t huge, but it’s got personality: dive schools, fishing boats, waterfront cafés, and just enough bustle to feel alive without being loud. You’ll find people fishing off the dock, kids racing around the open plaza, and the scent of grilled fish wafting in from nearby restaurants.

It’s also the departure point for catamaran cruises, deep-sea fishing, and glass-bottom boat rides so if you're planning to hit the water, this is your spot. Otherwise, come for the atmosphere. Late afternoon is best, when the heat softens and the colours start to shift.

👉 Grab a sundowner at the bar next to the marina. It’s one of the best people-watching spots on the West Coast without needing a reservation.
