Albemarle Plantation Marina,  a port on the Albemarle Loop and a CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, is located just off the AICW on the northern shores of Albemarle Sound on Yeopim River/Creek.

We visited this as one of our Albemarle Loop stops. Two free dock nights, just pay for electricity. Gorgeous residential development with many amenities – pool, laundry, golf, two restaurants, etc. BIG, so you might want to rent a golf cart ($25/2 days, $35/week). There are means to provision from a local grocery Food Lion?) that has a reasonable $ delivery service.
Fueled up upon arrival – very easy and price competitive ($2.70/gal diesel that date).
Very helpful/accommodating dock staff, most everyone I met there very nice (including the residents), and a must stop in my opinion. We got hit with a gustnado and lost a bimini, but that was mother nature, not AP.
Hits – I think pretty shallow in spots. I kicked up a lot of mud (4′ draft). No incident.
Open to the south, so the 12 mile fetch can produce rollers that come on in.
I intend to go again.
