Harbor Havens: Coastal Marinas from Above

Former Drone Video of the Week Winner sinaysky brings us this stunning drone video of Porto Montenegro, an exclusive marina and yachting paradise in the small Balkan nation of Montenegro.  Located in the Bay of Kotor, the world-renowned marina has become famous for its magnificent waterfront residences, luxury shops, million-dollar yachts, epic swimming pools, and more.  The first comprehensive deep water marina on the Adriatic Sea, Porto Montenegro is situated in Tivat, one of the principal towns on the bay.  

Top AirVuz contributor David L brings us this excellent drone video of one of the hubs of Greater Miami's legendary recreational boating culture: Haulover Sandbar.  Located on the interior (Biscayne) side of North Miami Beach, the sandbar is a magnet for many of the tens of thousands of pleasure boats which call the Gold Coast home.  The area is one of the most well-protected areas of Biscayne Bay, and its proximity to the Haulover Inlet (also featured prominently in the video) affords easy access to the Atlantic Ocean.    

The Dingle is the northernmost and probably the best known of the four great peninsulas which form the coastline of southwestern Ireland in County Kerry.  In this drone video by new contributor Hudson's Photo, you'll get some great aerial views of two spots on the famous landform.  The first is Slea Head, a promontory near the western end of the peninsula.  The second featured spot is the Dingle Marina in the peninsula's namesake town, which lies in a small bay on the peninsula's southern side. 

Ryanzooms used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create this beautiful aerial of Durban, South Africa's third city and the largest in the eastern part of the country.  It sits on the Indian Ocean coastline, and is the principal city (although not the capital) of the KwaZulu-Natal province.  In addition to some very well known surfing beaches, Durban is home to the country's largest port.  At the end of the video, you'll get a nice view of the seaport and its fine natural harbor, known officially as the Port of Natal.  

Like virtually all Mediterranean cities, Israel's Tel Aviv has an active boating scene.  In this drone video by Moshe Tutian, you'll get a bird's eye view of the city's main marina.  It's located on a small protected harbor west of the city center, just south of the mouth of the Yarkon River which courses through the Israeli commercial and financial capital.  The video also features footage from some of the city's famous beaches (which lie mostly just to the south of the Marina) and other sites from this very modern part of Israel.

While the most prominent skyscraper in Dubai is the Burj Khalifa Tower (the tallest building in the world since it opened), it's home to many other supertalls.  Many of these are located some distance from BK, in the Marina District.  The Marina is home to the next four tallest in the city, led by the Marina 101, which was completed in 2017 and stands 425 meters (just a bit under 1.4k ft.).  In this video, you'll get a great view of the Marina compliments of Andrey Mazurkov and his DJI Mavic Pro drone.
