The entrance to the marina is to sta'bd just before the main entrance to the port.
It is essential to contact Messina Marina on VHF before entering.
This port is popular with cruise ships and marina berths do suffer from the wash/surge caused by their props. Tie your boat up with care.
Good passage port, but not for winter layup.
