    This is a beautiful little place just off the ICW but the approach is shallow and narrow and there are no soundings on the chart. We saw under keel clearances as low as 2.5 feet at high tide. Once inside, there were plenty of larger boats.
    The facility is well maintained with a pool, beach access, clean showers, and a small fitness center.

    extremely happy that we got a slip here for a week whilst doing the loop. the previous comments and listing of facilities here on waterways is old and outdated. this is not your usual Marina it is 18 beautiful holiday Apartments with slips behind on a protected finger off the icw. everything is included in the price water Wi-Fi saltwater heated swimming pool barbecue area beautiful common Lounge beautiful gardens yoga room expertly maintained and managed. entry into the finger can be shallow at lower tides so keep this in mind. this has been the nicest facility we have stayed at since starting the loop in Alabama. walk across the street to a beautiful beach walk across the drawbridge to some well reviewed restaurants and a large liquor / grocery store with hot food. if you can swing it put it on your list

    Small haven on the Intracoastal Waterway. Gorgeous stopover with showers, pool and easy beach access. Under reconstruction with laundry facility due in January 2021.
