Medium-sized marina with numerous slips occupied by boats, adjacent to a large striped asphalt parking lot filled with vehicles along a riverfront road.
Columbia Island Marina offers 385 wet slips (annual and seasonal) for motor boats 20-50 ft on the Pentagon Lagoon in Arlington, VA, with fuel, pump-out, restaurant, power, and other amenities.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
