Beach Marine guards the AICW’s eastern banks, immediately north of the new B. B. McCormick high-rise bridge.

15 May 2010.
We stopped only for the night, a Saturday, and found it to be a pleasant stay. We didn’t eat at the restaurant in the marina although there is a 10% discount for marina stayers. It had live entertainment that was not intrusive from our boat, located near the fuel dock. We came in at low water during a big spring tide ‘“ 6.2 feet! ‘“ and dragged through a soft mud bottom coming into the slip. They were aware of our 4’6’ draft when assigning the slip so may have other deeper ones available further out.
There were plenty of lights on and no evidence of rough trade in the marina. The floating docks looked new. The washrooms were clean and spacious but worn. There were at least three sets of them available at various locations.
Overall, it was a first-class operation although I declined paying $8.00 for 30-amp service, offering to make a deal for our expected $.30 electrical usage but it wasn’t taken up. There was no manager available to talk to. Instead, we purchased our usual 30 lbs of ice for our icebox. The illogic of paying $8 for others’ refrigeration and air conditioning on top of our own refrigeration costs is not being acknowledged by marinas, unfortunately.
Fair winds and following seas,
Austin Whitten, s/y Discovery II
