The website states 75 slips. We just drove to the marina and took photos. The docks shown on the website: on the right are missing, the center dock has half the slips missing and the left side has sunken dock slips. My boats are actually in the website photo. A long time ago it was really nice. But repairs weren't made and docks sank. We left. My advice…. Steer clear.

Bathrooms were large and clean. Pool and hot tub were refreshing. Lots of poolside seating with shade. No shopping close by. Slips have apparently been improved since 2016 post. Friendly people. Entrance channel is marked by red buoys only. Pay attention to your electronic chart if you need to stay in the channel. Several markers are missing.

Once beautiful marina in a lovely small town has not had maintenance. Sunken docks remained below the surface of the water next to still floating docks in Sept. 2015. The marina is rapidly deteriorating and a vice president of the company stated in a public meeting for yacht club members and RV'ers there, that they were "not in the marina business."
Use this marina at your own risk. The people are very nice here though, and the pool, laundry and easy walking distance to restaurants and beach were a great draw during the time we kept our boat in this facility. We hope they will restore the marina to its once pristine condition.
