Large marina with extensive covered slips packed with boats, surrounded by mangroves, and a medium-sized surface parking lot near buildings with no visible vehicles.
Sunset Marina offers 120 floating docks nestled in a protective cove with immediate access to the Gulf of Mexico and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. It is home to Key West fishing guides offering daily charters and a sailing school providing hands-on classes.
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.
