For visiting boats
Swansea Marina is the City of Swansea's marina in the Maritime Quarter, by the National Waterfront Museum, entered from the sea through the Tawe Lock and then the Marina Lock. Phase one lies nearest the River Tawe and phase two beyond the swing bridge; the marina has showers, toilets, a laundry and fuel, and the city centre is a short walk away.
- Guest berths
- Entry via the Tawe Lock and the Marina Lock; call the marina on VHF 80 to lock through. The lock stops when the tide drops below 1.5 m – on springs for about 90 minutes either side of low water – and a 'lockmaster's decision' applies when low water is predicted at 1.5–1.8 m; check the published closures. Waypoint 51°36.40'N 003°55.60'W.
