Medium-sized marina with covered slips, multiple buildings, and a large unpaved parking lot containing numerous vehicles surrounded by wooded areas.
Colton's Point Marina is situated in Colton's Point, a small community in St. Mary's County, Maryland, along the banks of the Potomac River, which flows into the Chesapeake Bay and ultimately connects to the Atlantic Ocean. This geographic setting places it in a tidal river environment with access to both freshwater and brackish waters of the mid-Atlantic region. The marina primarily serves recreational boating and sailing activities in the Potomac River and its surrounding coastal waters.
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.
