History
Formation years
Formed in 1933, by fishermen in the then small community of Los Cristianos, Arona, as Marino Fútbol Club, Club Deportivo Marino is the oldest football club in the south of Tenerife. The club came to be known as Club Deportivo Marino upon its registration with the local authority on 13 June 1947, with Segundo Fumero being named as the club's first president. At the time of its official formation, the club played its games on the El Guincho salt flats, which were located near one of Tenerife's now most-popular beaches, Las Vistas. In 1948, the club moved its games to Campo de El Quinto.
