    The facilities have the potential to be great but they were in rough condition during our visit. The docks were in good shape though. We also saw 2.3ft under out prop leaving at low tide. Important to note: If E/NE winds, avoid staying on the pier right as you enter the marina channel. It may be easy to get into but we were in the first slip and were tossed most of the night by waves/wind blowing straight up into the channel. There is a breaker wall that does protect the rest of the slips though. Cute town but be sure to walk /bike into Northeast Beach Town as well. Great Boardwalk along with dining options.

    The marina staff gave me detailed approach information for entering the marina from the Chesapeake Bay and positioned a dockhand at my slip to identify where the slip was and to help secure my boat.

    Chesapeake Beach. Bandshell on the beach with Caribbean Chiller's Jimmy Buffet tribute was great. Really made our stay memorable. Lots of area construction going on so walking to North Beach is a bit of a hassle. Marina is more industrial and 'city' vs resort with grounds for grilling and walking. Restaurant on site is ok. Pool is indoor at onsite hotel. Dock power is 208v so our 240v boats could not run their AC units. Marina office manager, Heather was great - very professional, knowledgeable and helpful.

    Stayed and booked with Snag-A-Slip. Between the marina and the site everything went as planned. Excellent - 5 stars!
