With a closed vertical clearance of 14ft, the 2.8-mile bridge across the Alligator River has had lengthy closures to undergo repairs several times in recent years and, with a closure mandate in winds over 25 knots, Alligator River Bridge was almost always an “event” on ICW cruises, events that lead many southbound cruisers to be quests of Elizabeth City Mariners Wharf and guests of the Rose Buddies. See “The Legend of the Rose Buddies” Monument.

“The Salty Crab” Waterfront Restaurant Opens at Dowry Creek Marina in Belhaven
The Salty Crab Restaurant at the Dowry Creek Marina is Now OPEN. The picturesque new 5000 sq foot waterfront restaurant and bar served over 850 customers over the Labor Day Weekend as a steady stream of folks came by boat off the ICW and by road to enjoy the food and check out the new facility. Dowry Creek has plenty of dock space for visiting boats up to 195 ft with 9′ channel depth on the approach. In addition to 30 transient slips for overnight dockage, they have plenty of space for boats stopping in to get VALVTEC fuel and/or fill their own tanks at the restaurant There is also plenty of protected anchorage space in Upper Dowry Creek near the marina and easy access for dinghy parking at the pier. The Salty Crab features Chef Cody Johnson, and is open 7 days a week from 11 am until 10 pm serving a variety of seafood dishes, burgers, sandwiches, salads and more; and features a full bar with 22 beers on tap, a great wine selection and all of your favorite mixed drinks. Pizza, steaks and a full dinner menu will be added over the coming weeks in preparation for the fall boating season as the ICW fills with boats heading south towards the sunshine and warm winter temperatures. With the news, space is going fast, so make your reservations now if you want to reserve an overnight slip for the upcoming season.

As a native of this area we have enjoyed stopping and waiting as the swingspan opens and lets the boat traffic pass. I Have been able to get out of the truck walk around and " smell the roses " heck I've even seen people throw out a line while they wait. Swingspans and Drawbridges will soon be a things of the past , most people don't even remember that there was once a swing up at Coinjock . Time and Tide march on…
