Camber Basin

Camber Basin sits within Portsmouth's historic old town, tucked just inside the harbour entrance near the Spice Island area. It's one of those spots with real character, with the old quayside buildings and the buzz of the waterfront pubs and cafes just a short walk away. You'll anchor off here and take your dinghy in to explore the narrow streets and the Round Tower, one of England's oldest coastal defences.
