The port of Macau benefits from its perfect location on the banks of the estuary

The port of Macau has always benefitted from its perfect location on the banks of the estuary.
In the past, Macau was an obligatory port of call for boats transporting goods, including large quantities of fine wine from the local chateaus. Today, the focus is firmly on the showcasing of the port's natural heritage.

Visitors can stroll calmly along the banks, between the Gironde and the Garonne, or enjoy a more festive atmosphere at one of the region's lively bars and restaurants.
In summer, visitors stride along riverside paths, enjoying the sights and sounds of the magnificent residences that line the shore.

Visit in August or September, at high tide, and you might be lucky enough to glimpse the Mascaret, the famous wave that crosses the river against the current. Every year, this impressive natural phenomenon attracts hordes of thrill-seeking surfers.
