Good marina, fixed docks, good price on diesel for the bay, tight approach.

First timer at this marina and loved it. We travelled with a large group of boats and they put many of us together on the beach wall. Although a little walk to the facilities, it was like having our own private marina. Beautifully maintained grounds and walkways and lots of shade. Pool is large with lots of chairs, the restaurant was nice if a little loud and the shops across the street had a nice selection of sandwiches and items boaters need. The shuttle goes on demand to the nearby town. Truly a resort marina or a caliber you don't see much. Dock help needs a bit of training on the layout of the marina and which side you would "tie" on. It' a little late by the time you arrive at your slip to set up for docking. Otherwise this place is perfect.

Fine marina, power is good 10' water at fuel dock, good people, like Chesapeake Market for sandwiches across the street.

Hands down the best marina on the Chesapeake Bay. The first marina I have seen that truly earns the moniker of a "Resort Marina" with the most impeccably manicured grounds, plantings, trails, two beaches, pickleball courts, boat-kayak-and paddleboard rentals (free for slipholders). The on-site restaurant, Ketch 22, is amazingly good, with a fabulous outdoor bar and dining area overlooking the marina. Ketch 22 is the 'sister restaurant' to The Point restaurant on the Magothy River (at Ferry Point Marina). Owned as a group, along with Herrington Harbour North, Hartge Yacht Yard, and Shipwright, this family-owned business is top notch. Only minor drawback is that there is no town to walk to. Herrington North is just around the corner by boat and offers all the services, haulout, a West Marine, and another great restaurant, Dockside.

Any time we have visited other marinas and heard people make some nice comment about docks/food/amenities/bathrooms/pool/etc., we always say, "You must not have visited HH South yet"!

Fixed docks, good power, good water depth, Chesapeake Market, across the street has great sandwiches. Clean, nice marina with great staff. Stay here a lot in both directions North and South, easy in and out and not a great distance off the Bay.

I'm sure it's nicer when season is in full swing. We liked north and surrounding area better. Nothing close here.

Stayed here September 8, 2021 and again on September 14, 2021. Very nice marina with first rate facilities. Clean and comfortable. Really like the self service ice with honor system. Would be five stars with better docking help. First time dock hand seemed really put out that we were there and second time requested assistance at the fuel dock and no one showed up until after we had docked and tied up ourselves. Still will come back if in the area.

First class resort, facilities are good, assistant dockmaster is terrific, fuel is among the least expensive on the bay. I usually stop here for fuel in each direction on north/south transit.

Agree with all previous comments, best fuel price I have found on the bay consistently for many years. Easy in & out if you are heading north or south.

We are year round slip holders in this marina. One of the best marinas we have ever experienced. A previous reviewer said it well. Nice protected marina and a beautiful location. Easy access to the bay. Excellent patio bar and restaurant on site. Friendly and helpful staff. Fully stocked grocery store and grille and takeout across the street from the marina. Good WiFi and the large pool is nice during the summer months. Harrington South is also a resort and wedding center. Beautiful and well groomed grounds.

Great protected jetty entrance, clean modern Marina with resort ammenities on site including very large pool. Country setting, long way to any services or shopping.
Ideal vacation setting.
