Club Nautico Deportivo Punta Umbria

Environment Views: 2357 Punta Umbría, located in the heart of the Costa de la Luz, is one of the most emblematic coastal municipalities in the province of Huelva. Sheltered from the winds of the Atlantic, it enters the Ría de Punta Umbría, surrounding itself with the Marismas del Odiel Natural Area, declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1983 and the second humid area in the province after the Doñana Natural Area. The Odiel Marshes wetlands originated from the sedimentary processes coming from the mouth of the Tinto and Odiel rivers together with the dynamics of contributions from the Atlantic Ocean, which formed a wide estuary, making the area one of the areas most important tides in Andalusia. All this has allowed this estuary to host, especially in winter, an enormous concentration of birds, such as spoonbills, flamingos, royal and imperial herons, cranes, black storks, imperial eagles, marsh harriers, etc. Inside the Reserve is the Interpretation Center of "La Calatilla", bird watching, trails and interpretive and rest areas. Punta Umbría is well connected with the capital of the province, just 25 km. by highway, 92 km. from Seville and 105 from Faro airport, in Portugal. It has a wide range of accommodation, in hotels of the Barceló Punta Umbría category, the Barceló Resort, the Pato Amarillo and Pato Rojo hotels, as well as numerous tourist apartments and two and one star hotels. Its fine golden sand beaches stretch for 13 km. uninterruptedly, offering the beauty of the landscape of dunes and pine forests of its Natural Site Los Enebrales, and inviting the visitor to enjoy the alternative of more direct contact with a natural environment, as opposed to the classic urban beach. Its offer in restaurants is very varied, from the typical beach bars to the best restaurants, where they offer not only the freshest fish and shellfish on our coasts, such as the famous shrimp from Huelva, coquina, chirla, corvina , sole or sea bass; but also the best Iberian pork products such as Jabugo ham, pork loin or exquisite fresh meats, all washed down with the best wines from the Huelva County, ending by tasting the famous strawberries, The Punta Umbría Nautical Sports Club is located in the heart of the Punta Umbría Estuary, opposite the Saltés Island, a silent witness to the Muslim presence in our town between the 8th and 13th centuries and where it is possible to observe remains of house plants, walls and ruins. of an old castle; and right next to the archaeological site of El Eucaliptal, which gives it an unbeatable attraction of natural and landscape beauty. The El Eucaliptal site has chronologically framed the Roman settlement of Punta Umbría between the 2nd and 5th centuries after Christ. The presence of amphoras in the place indicates what was a salting industry, next to which is a necropolis and abundant industrial structure.
