Monaco Marina
Monaco Marina in the Principality of Monaco.
A sovereign and independent state, the Principality of Monaco has borders on its landward side with several communes of the French Department of the Alpes-Maritimes; from west to east these are Cap d’Ail, la Turbie, Beausoleil and Roquebrune Cap Martin. Seawards, Monaco faces the Mediterranean Sea.
Its surface area is 485 acres, of which nearly 100 were recovered from the sea during the course of the last twenty years. Monaco lies on a narrow coastal strip, which sometimes rises vertically upwards with its highest point at 206 feet. Its width varies between .65 miles and a mere 382 yards. Its coastline is 2.5 miles long. The Principality has only one commune, Monaco, whose limits are the same as those of the state.

Thank you Barbara. Monaco is a most impressive place. There are more millionares to the square mile than almost anywhere else on earth …

Stunning view of this rich and vibrant playground Tom. Monaco and especially Monte Carlo is one of the words little gems, and you have captured her perfectly here.
Tom Gomez replied
Thanks Julie, I wish I could afford to live there …
Julie Langford
Yeah ~I know what you mean Tom, I spent a weekend at Monte Carlo, and at £37.00 for a single gin and tonic, and £150.00 for a meal out, it certainly would need a lotto win to go there for any length of time.

A well chosen elevated viewpoint looking down on the marina and what I’d imagine to be very expensive adjoining real estate, it looks beautiful Tom, well captured,
