Nautical Cerveira – Amizade Pier

About this port

Description The Amizade Pier is located on the Minho River, by a cross-border leisure park called “Parque da Amizade”, and close to the town’s historical centre. Its privileged location also sets it near the eco road called Caminho do Rio, a 13 km way following along the river. The Amizade Pier is an accessible infrastructure that allows the mooring of leisure boats, as well as the participation in activities related with nautical sports, or river and nature exploration.
