I planned my return (30 June and 1 July) to Lakefront marina based on 2021 favorable visit. Excellent location to wait on weather, e.g., western Lake Erie and Detroit River confluence. The marina standard remains high. Of note this year, the excellent internet enabled me to easily assess weather. I paid $6.13/gallon diesel. From the marina, I walked the 2 miles into Port Clinton which I found picturesque. The first 0.5 mile is on gravel/dirt, after which a sidewalk is available on the road's south side. Resident boaters were very friendly and considerate of quiet hours.

Business Response:
The staff here at Lakefront Marina is excited to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoy the downtown Port Clinton. We are looking forward to you next stay with us.

A family friendly marina has a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. On the approach stay in the center of the entrance channel; I observed 5 to 6 depth feet at the entry which increased to 7 feet depth while on center. The inner harbor and fairways are between 8 and 9 feet depth. Boats resident in this marina are power boats, maybe one small sailboat. Restrooms are clean and a grade better than most marina facilities. WIFI is excellent and security is controlled via one gate to the marina which requires a gate-key from the office. The fuel dock is just inside the entrance channel, I purchased diesel on 6 August at $3.42/gallon. I patronized the Overboard Bar and Grill recently upgraded with a beach ambience, note the great white shark decorating its roof.
