Bangor Marina

Bangor Marina is the largest marina in Northern Ireland. It opened in 1989 on the southern shores of Belfast Lough, close to the Irish Sea cruising routes.[1] The marina has become well-known for providing a berth in the centre of Bangor. It has also been awarded Five Anchors by the Yachting Harbour Association.
