The port of Suances is located between the beaches of Riberuca and Ribera (Port Street). Suances, also known since Roman times as PORTUS BLENDIUM, was located on the most important route of penetration of Roman Spain towards the Cantabrian coast. In the 16th and 17th centuries, fishing activity was a pillar of the economic base of the municipality. In the first half of the 20th century, Suances had fish canneries and salting factories. At the moment, the economic activity that it generates is a little since the number of fishing boats is not very numerous. Not so, recreational fishing boats, whose number is increasing and are demanding new services. The port of Suances is located between the beaches of La Riberuca and La Ribera, in the vicinity of the promenade and the area of ​​bars and cafés, etc.

The San Vicente de la Barquera estuary is located and integrated into the Oyambre Natural Park, with 5,800 ha. Its great ecological and landscape wealth is due to the fact that it encompasses five different units: the cliffs, the beaches (Merón and Oyambre stand out due to their extension and dune systems), the estuaries (San Vicente estuary), the marshes (of Pombo and Rubín) and deciduous forests. It is an arm of the sea that goes into the SW, dividing into two others, called the W as Caño del Peral, crossed by the Puente Negro and the S (the largest) as Caño de Villegas or Barcenal crossed by the Puente de Mace. The prelude to this easily identifiable estuary (Punta de la Silla Lighthouse) is made up of the sandbar, continuing to the N of the Merón sandbank, joined to the breakwater. Parallel to this to the west runs the breakwater that ends up facing the island of Peña Mayor. The ends of these breakwaters are buoyed: At high tide, the water covers the end of the breakwater wall. Breakwater of Poniente Breakwater of Levante We will always keep in mind that no matter how little sea there is, the bar breaks and with a strong swell the breakers start out to sea. With good sea conditions, the entrance is not complicated. We will enter through the centre of the channel, a little more towards the eastern breakwater. Within the estuary, it is advisable to approach the docks well leaned to starboard at the height of the slipways. Once inside, moor if you have a place on the pontoons of the marina, or anchor in front of the port and the new bridge. The sonar must be monitored, and tidal currents must be taken into account. The ebb current is 3 knots in spring tides and two in dead tides. At the landfall we will take care of the La Plancha shoal to the NW of the W point lighthouse (43º23.7'N/004º23.2'0W), we will head to the head of this breakwater to the N, Near the lighthouse about 100 m away, we look for the middle of the channel and avoid the “Andresín” shoal, which with 1 m of water is separated about 30 m to the ENE of the light. We will sail through the center of the channel closer to and parallel to the breakwater until we pass Peña Mayor where we have already reached the center of the channel taking the tack of Er la Punta de la Espina. In this area, the probe is between 4 and 5 m. We pass close to the Punta e la Espina (f) buoyed up with a green and white turret, and we stay up to the height of the slipway that appears to us from the bow. If we have to anchor we will fall to Br since the anchorage is located from our beam to the tack. Pay attention to the probe, the difference in depth appears suddenly. We have the pontoons of the marina at the bow. At the start, the head of the W jetty will be uprooted in order to approach from here to the N and, with sufficient shelter, set course for the destination.
