Easy peasy docking. Strange power situation. Because the land side has large boulders for the wall, you need to of course stay back. Power is on the land side and we used every inch of our power lines to get there. (And our power is forward on our boat so we nose in). They do have big "garage hooks" on the dock edges to run your cords. However going along the dock edge you need really long cords. Many had double cords or them strung from bow over water to the power box and I will just say that is a long way!!! 5 more inches and we would have had to do that also. That much cord hanging is very heavy and sketchy. Have a power plan for cords. You have to dock in a manner to facilitate power cords here. Overall though, nice and no other concerns. Best part was east in and out.

Nice place. Easy access to fuel dock. Smooth evening. No movement. Easy walking distance to a grocery store and multiple little eateries. Find out their hours before you go as many change during week or in shoulder seasons.

This is super cute little marina. I very much prefer quiet, remote places and this is it. Dollar General and mom and pop grocery store just about two blocks away. Great place!

Very nice small marina. We chose it over the other two in town because we are new boaters with a 40 foot and this appeared to have the best room to maneuver. Stayed in the most westerly side of slips for that reason. Good room. I would suggest a boat of any size not be in the most southerly edge slips as it sure looks shallow and rocks along the edge. We filled both tanks with diesel here and had plenty of help from their dock hands. After fueling they walked right to our dock and met us without having to ask! We are getting a super TINy amount of rock occasionally from the channel. Super super minor but will mention. Any other side would not have. So far good experience.
