We had an earlier posting here on the Net’s “North Carolina” section about the WONDERFUL Mackeys Crab Grill and Marina on Mackeys Creek. This twin facility lies off the southern shores of Albemarle Sound, between the Roanoke and Scuppernong Rivers, on protected Mackeys Creek (also known as Kendrick Creek). Take my word for it, the food is WONDERFUL!!!

For an off-the-beaten-path trip up the Albemarle, try Mackey’s Marina on the south side [of Albemarle Sound] (252-793-5031) (http://www.mackeysmarina.com/) Joanne and Henry run it. They have a great bar/seafood restaurant now (local crabs) and transient slips. Deep enough water if you stay in the channel. Very protected. Good tackle shop. Fuel. Boat lift. It’s a working crabbers dock, so be prepared for working boats, not pristine cruisers. Bald eagles nest up the creek and ospreys all over – pretty spot if you like rustic.
No connection, just a displaced local boy.
