About Puerto Deportivo Algeciras-Saladillo
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. 1 sailing school or club and 6 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 16°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 22°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Algeciras. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
