Medium-sized marina with multiple piers packed with boats, adjacent surface parking lot with several vehicles, and a prominent building near the docks.
Knapps Narrows Marina & Inn is located on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in Tilghman adjacent to the Knapps Narrows Bridge. It features a full-service boatyard with 35-ton lift, 1000-foot floating dock for transient and seasonal slips, gas pump, showers, laundry, swimming pool, and a 20-room waterfront inn with sweeping Chesapeake Bay views.
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.
