Marina Review for Captain's Inn

Reviewed by: Donald Francis , Stella Maris, on Jul 14, 2021

Draft: 3.4'

Rating: 5

Nice restaurant to pull in with your boat and have a nice lunch or dinner. The restaurant on the water is a kind of Tiki bar vibe and they serve typical tiki bar fare. Great burgers and lots of other tasty options on the menu. Live music. Prices are average for the area. The main restaurant is across the street for a more formal dinner. If you decide to spend the night, you can tie up overnight for $50.

Anchorage Review for Island Beach, Tices Shoal

As the others have said, this anchorage is very popular on summer weekends with lots of loud music and partying. Great spot to spend the night on the hook. There is a stairway and boardwalk to the really beautiful beach on the ocean side of Island Beach State Park. They currently charge $3 per person to cross over to the ocean side on weekends.
