Bangor Marina

Bangor Marina, built in 1989, is one of the largest 5 gold anchor accredited marina developments on the island of Ireland and is the largest in Northern Ireland, attracting a considerable number of vessels into the city.

Some of its infrastructure is critical to safe and effective operations and cannot be moved, however a level of redesign will enable us to increase the number of seafaring visitors to Bangor and to open up the space, making it easier for people to enjoy the sea views.

The redesign will include additional public access with dropped boardwalks, seating and viewing areas and opportunities for food and beverage offerings to be integrated into the Marina.

From 1 April 2026, the operation of Bangor Marina and Harbour will transfer to Ards and North Down Borough Council. For queries, please contact bangormarina@ardsandnorthdown.gov.uk or telephone 028 9127 8080.
