We loved our stay at Dowry Creek Marina! We spent several days there waiting for weather to improve. Good nav aids to get into the marina. Fuel dock is the first dock you come to. Least expensive diesel we have purchased since Winter Harbor Marina on the Erie Canal! In- slip pumpouts. The people working the dock are top notch!! Free laundry. Individual bathrooms for people to use. Well stocked ships store with boat and food items. Swimming pool was closed for the season (mid-November). Restaurant on-site with very good food at a moderate price. Flounder fish and chips was very good with the largest piece of fish I have ever had with fish and chips! The deep fried cheese curds are to die for. They have the nicest courtesy car we have used in our 2500 miles of boating this year. We will definitely stay here next spring as we head north!

A good stop not far off the ICW. Solid fixed docks with a nominal wind-driven tide. Good dockhand wearing highly visible orange sweatshirt made it easy to find my relatively narrow slip and tie up. Marina shop is well stocked with groceries, tourist items, and boat supplies. Laundry room had two free washers and driers and I must have timed it right because I didn't have to wait. Showers are in private rooms and good. There's a nice captain's lounge and satisfactory wifi service, even way out on the transient dock. Relatively dog friendly with grassy areas to walk your pup. There's a pool (which was definitely greenish on that November stay) and a restaurant. I had lunch in the restaurant and it was good; I missed out on the live music that evening. I used the courtesy car to go to Food Lion and the post office. In all, it was a nice stay. I got a lot of chores done and had a good night's sleep. I think this is an excellent option if you prefer a quiet, more laid back experience in the Belhaven area. Good value for your money. Would I stay here again? Yes!

October 20, 2023 stayed a few days to wait for better travel days with the wind kicking up. Good help with docking. They now have a nice restaurant Bar on site. Was nice to be able to use courtesy car to go to Food Lion. Outstanding dock help and friendly helping attitude. Facilities clean and bright. Courtesy car to get you to town for provisions and supplies. Nice peaceful relaxing setting and good views of stars. Good free laundry facilities. Excellent fuel prices. The people working here and staying here are wonderful. Thank you for a great stay!

Love this marina. Well-maintained fixed piers. Stayed on both north and southbound trips. Extremely friendly and helpful team. Owner lent me her personal car when another boater left her courtesy car with zero gas and a dead battery (left lights on). New restaurant is open and is sparkling clean and well staffed. Food is quite good, too. Full dinner menu on Fri/Sat/Sun with was good and a big plus. Deducted one star because not much lighting on the piers, just blue marker lights. I was nervous navigating in the dark and grabbed a flashlight. Pet friendly. Pool took a bad hit after a storm with surge, but it's off season so we didn't use it.
