Clube Náutico de Salvaterra de Magos

Clube Náutico de Salvaterra de Magos is a modest river marina and boating club at Cais da Vala Real in Salvaterra de Magos, located on the Vala Real, a tributary of the Tejo river, in the Santarém district of Portugal. The club is a non-profit association where traditional boats and working fishing boats share the small quay with pleasure craft.

Access to the area and navigation are governed by the tide, so you should plan your arrival according to the tidal conditions, as both depth and passage here are dictated by the rhythm of the tide.

At the quay there is a ramp where smaller boats can be launched and hauled out of the water.

Right by the marina stands the Edifício do Cais da Vala, which houses the town's tourist office as well as the Museu do Rio/Museu do Concelho, with exhibitions on the history of the Tejo river and its riverside communities. Within walking distance you will also find the historic 17th-century Capela da Misericórdia chapel and the royal falconry building Falcoaria Real, both testifying to Salvaterra de Magos' past as a royal hunting retreat.
