Restaurants in the marina of Getxo.
Although there is a varied offer of leisure and restoration, we must differentiate between the central building (fast food) and the small locals that we find next to the pontoons. If you are looking for something more traditional, you can go to the Old Port of Algorta, it is very close and worth it.

There are different options to get to Getxo Marina. Here is a short list of the most popular ones:
- Bilbao SubwayLine 1 of the Bilbao Metro allows us to get to the Getxo Marina by getting off at Gobela station, Neguri station or Algorta station. The first 2 are the most used.
- Private vehicleIf you want to arrive by private vehicle, you must take into account that there is a regulated parking area (OTA) near the marina. And it is that both the parking lots of the beach of Ereaga and those that we find in the Old Port correspond to the zone 5. Do not forget to take out the corresponding ticket.

Port of Bilbao.

- Port of BilbaoPort of Bilbao is the name given to the merchant port. The space where goods are loaded and unloaded.
- Bilbao Cruise TerminalAlthough the Bilbao Cruise Terminal is located a few meters away from the Getxo Marina, it has nothing to do with it. And as its name indicates, this terminal is only used to provide service to cruise ships. Remember that we make excursions for cruisers all year round.
- MarinaAs we have indicated, the marina is the space in which all the services of nautical leisure and restoration of the locality are agglutinated. One of the most important of Bizkaia.
