Medium-sized marina with multiple parallel docks full of boats, adjacent surface parking lot containing numerous vehicles, and a few small buildings on vegetated land.
Charlestown Marina is a full-service, family-owned marina on the North East River in Charlestown, MD, offering over 200 slips (115 covered), year-round wet/dry storage, a 50-ton travel lift, and services including repairs, canvas work, and a ship's store.
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.
