I would recommend this marina to folks looking for a calm and totally protected place to stay just inside dragon point. you can even get in at night .. ask me how I know. Publix is near along with a Lowes and the beach. The dolphins are very active in this harbor. Depths are good up to the marina and around 6′ at the fuel dock.

Yay! It’s about time and it is very welcomed. Went out a few weeks ago with friends and had a rough time trying to come back in the narrow channel with all the boats trying to come in at the same time. Talk about major traffic jam!
