Marina Review for Beachcomber Marina

Rating: 4

You will not beat the price for a slip at the Beachcomber Marina. The monthly cost is currently just $5.50 per foot up to 30 feet. Slightly more for larger boats. It's not as fancy as other marinas in the area but if you can do without the bath house, laundromat, etc. the price is right.

Great restaurant/bar on the property -- The River Shack just reopened under new management. It is located on your port side immediately after passing under the Dog River Bridge. Excellent food, drinks, and entertainment with good prices. The River Shack monitors Channel 9.

Anchorage Review for Ingram Bayou

Reviewed by: Claude, Money Pit, on Nov 22, 2020
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 30'
Draft: 5.5'

Very peaceful bayou, calm and quiet with no wakes from the ICW. When I arrived there was one other sailboat and another arrived that evening. There are occasional boaters that will come in to the bayou to play but they were all gone by nightfall. I can think of no better anchorage along the ICW in Alabama.

Great mud holding even though not much holding is needed. 8 feet of depth in center. Bayou hooks to West where you will find it the smoothest and quietest but not room for more than one or two sailboats. Easily enough room for a dozen or so boats between the entrance and the curve.
