    A really Fantastic place to stop after or stage for crossing the Bend. Facilities are always clean and neat, the staff is always friendly. Restaurants are not that far lots of shops are at the top of the hill.

    We spent 2 very blissful weeks here doing repairs and enjoying the seafood and pizza restaurants that are right on the shore. Our highlight was one Saturday when we got up and found about 100 kite surfers had descended upon the bay, a real joy to watch.

    Living aboard in City Marina here is best described as a Sticky Bottom. Lots of travelers stop on their way to other locales and never leave. We really enjoy the laid-back community lifestyle.

    Fantastic marina in a great location with beaches, downtown, casinos and lots of places to eat all within walking distance. Very clean bathroom facilities, wide fairways that no boats in the marina stick out into. Overall a 5 star marinas.
