Also get a coffee at the bakery in town is owned by a young woman who's been on the Food Network and baking competitions, really good prices.

The bathrooms are clean and nice, with a store and gas/diesel. There is a really nice State Park 9 miles away, and a kid park across the marina, also Midway town is on the other side of the highway.

Brand New BIG washer/ dryer for 4.00 a load, bathroom is big and clean and the grounds are grass with trees for shade. The beach is a 5 minutes walk from the marina. Here is a little summary of our stay and why I love the place and smaller marinas-We had call in early as we needed to go to the clinic with an ear infection, as soon as we docked he offered to take us so we did not want to walk on the heat, then we asked to use the marina bicycles for a mother's day lunch, he gave us the review on places to go and lended us his golf cart as a mother's day gift.
