Port de Badalona, Maritime port in Badalona, Spain.
Port de Badalona is a fishing and sports port between the La Mora and Gorg neighbourhoods, with 617 berths for boats of 8 to 30 metres and a fishing zone with 111 places. The sheltered water covers 8.65 hectares, with a depth of 11.5 metres and a 145-metre-wide entrance channel.
The harbor was created as part of a redesign of Badalona's waterfront, where former factories gave way to recreational maritime activities. This transformation reflects the city's shift from industry toward tourism and water sports.
Since May 2013 the port has hosted the Festival de Mar, a boat fair held for the first time that year. Marina Badalona and the owners of the adjoining buildings also stage opera, classical dance, flamenco and traditional dances, and promote the port's restaurants. The fishing guild, Confraria de Pescadors de Badalona, has its auction hall (llotja) and ice factory here.
Land access runs via Carrer d'Eduard Maristany and Carrer de la Mar Jòrnica, reached from the B-10 Ronda del Litoral or the C-31; buses B26, 1, 3, 4 and 43 stop nearby. Metro L2 and L10 at Gorg, tram Besòs at Gorg and Rodalies C-1 stations Sant Adrià and Badalona are within walking distance. By sea there is a single entrance between the sheltering breakwater and the counter-dike, 55.6 m wide with an 8 m depth.
The fishing area opened without a fish market or ice factory, a gap the Confraria de Pescadors de Badalona publicly denounced; both were later added, and the port now has capacity for 111 fishing boats. The 2022 Hotel Marina Badalona, with 181 rooms on fourteen floors, was built partly to fund a railway viaduct over the sector.
