Medium-sized marina with multiple finger docks accommodating around 40 boats in a sheltered bay, but no visible parking lot or landside facilities.
Pelican Harbor is a great in-town marina with Intracoastal and ocean access via Haulover Inlet or Government Cut. Pelican Island, a nature preserve and bird sanctuary, is just 400 yards offshore with picnic facilities and a sand volleyball court.
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.
