Marina Review for Windmill Point Marina

Stayed here one night. On calling to get info they informed me the entrance was being dredged and to stay in between the pvc pipes on arrival. We did but they were confusing so we actually came in on the side of the channel. Leaving the next day I made sure I was perfectly landed up with channel and the pvc pipes. All of a sudden boat lurched to a stop and engines stall. Start them up and port prop shakes. We only draft 3.5' so definitely a problem.

We stayed here had a great night. Couple of crab pots to avoid but was good protection from north east wind. There were 4 other boats in area but plenty of space and 7 ft depth most of area. The only issue was you better be on your toes once sunrise. The traffic coming from Coinjock was non stop and started rocking boat

  Coinjock tide approximately 1 foot.

Stayed here one night. Great staff helped us with pump out and tie up on the face dock. Some rocking from tugs and non courteous boaters but not bad. Restaurant had just closed for season or we would have tried.

We have stayed here twice both times great. Great restaurants and fabulous docks. Only restrooms no showers. Only complaint is very shallow entrance and debri.
