The marina is very nice, and quite new, but a long bus ride from town, with very limited restaurant and supermarket facilities nearby.
The marina restaurant was often closed, or having a wedding or something, and I did not have a chance to eat there.
I had lunch at a restaurant on the beach, but I was the only patron and it was very quiet in September.
I am told that there is a small supermarket that sells bread and such, if you keep walking down the road toward the city. I guess I did not walk far enough.

#4 Bus to town (Bus)
#4 bus stop
For the #4 bus, you need to walk down Via Torpediniera Spica from the marina gates to the main road (Via Materdomini) and then walk about 50m SW past the old run down market (that did not open in 2009).
If you are going to catch the #4 bus back to the marina again, you had better find a landmark to warn you when approaching the bus stop, as you will need to signal to the driver before you reach the stop.
The #5 bus, however, takes you right to the marina gate.

#5 Bus to Town (Bus)
The #5 bus stop is just outside the marina gate. Bus takes about 30 minutes to town, and runs about every hour during the day. Bus tickets purchased on the bus are €1.50 but you can buy them in town at coffe shops near the train station for €0.85.
NOTE: During summer (May-September) the #5 bus service does not run. You need to catch the #4 bus down the road on the main drag. September through April, both the #4 and #5 busses run, but only the #5 begeins and returns to the marina gate.

Mini Market (Supermarket)
A convenient, if small, mini market that has one or two of each item you may find in a larger supermarket.
Good selection of cheeses and cold meats, and fresh bread from time to time. Their meat selection varies from day to day with sausage, to occasionaly quite a large selection of meats. Limited fresh fruits and vegetables. There is a much better selection at the fruitaria about 100m down the road.
It certainly beats having to ride the bus to town and lug heavy water, wine, and beer back on the bus.
