The Puerto Deportivo de Almerimar lies right on the coast of Almerimar, a district of El Ejido that grew up around the harbour. The beaches of Playa Poniente and Playa Levante lie on either side of the harbour, and to the east of them begins the Punta Entinas-Sabinar nature reserve with its dunes, salt pans and wetlands. The main town of El Ejido, with its bus station, administration and the large shops, lies inland.<\/p>\n
The Puerto Deportivo is the heart of Almerimar: most of the village's bars, restaurants, shops and leisure facilities are located around the harbour basins. The address is Calle del Faro, 1, and the harbour office is in the control tower (Torre de Control). The harbour is owned by the region of Andalusia and operated by the concession company Almerimar S.A.<\/p>\n
