Medium-scale marina with multiple parallel docks packed with boats along a bay shoreline, featuring large striped asphalt parking lots with numerous vehicles adjacent to nearby highway and buildings.
Loggerhead Marina is situated in Stuart, Florida, on the eastern coast of the state along the Atlantic Ocean, specifically on the St. Lucie River, which is part of the broader Treasure Coast region known for its scenic waterways and proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway. It serves recreational boaters and sailors who navigate the protected inland waters of the river and lagoon system, as well as those venturing into the nearby Atlantic for fishing and coastal cruising. This area provides access to diverse marine environments, including mangroves and barrier islands, making it ideal for both leisurely and exploratory boating activities.
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.
