Dover Marina Curve

Opened in 2021 as part of the Dover Western Docks Revival Project, the Marina Curve has transformed Dover’s waterfront. You'll find a selection of food and drink pop ups at Clock Tower Square on the Curve mostly open at the weekend, plus the Indie Pedaler cafe in the Clock Tower building. 

At weekends throughout the summer season the space is alive with activities, entertainment and the fantastic food stalls serving delicious local produce (including vegan dishes, pizzas, South African dishes and burgers). Locals and visitors gravitate to the area every Sunday to enjoy a wide variety of live music performances and the great atmosphere here.

Dover Pier

Take a stroll along Dover's pier and enjoy those panoramic views! Look out over the Marina, trace Dover's coastline and get an amazing view of Dover Castle to the east and the Western Heights to the west, both perched on top of the White Cliffs.

Accessible for all, the flat surface is ideal for walking, wheelchair users and pushchairs. There's a small shelter at the end where you can sit and watch the ships come and go.

Dover Marina

Set against the iconic backdrop of the White Cliffs and overlooked by majestic Dover Castle, Dover Marina is one of the best known on the south coast. Whether it's crossing the Channel or exploring the dramatic coastline here, Dover Marina is a fantastic base for yacht crews and boaters. It is within easy sailing distance of the French marinas of Boulogne, Calais, Gravelines and Dunkerque, and the Belgian and Dutch coasts. 

The Marina is just a short walk from Dover Priory station and easily accessible from town. With over 350 berths - 250 in the new Outer Marina and 135 in the redeveloped Wellington Dock, it's a sight to behold with fantastic yachts and boats moored here.

There is a superb range of facilities and services, plus 24-hour security. Please visit Port of Dover's website for full information about facilities, navigating the port, procedures, the Marina Boatyard, tarrifs, shore services and more.
