Small residential marina with private docks along a river, featuring a medium-sized unpaved parking area near the water with no vehicles present.
Star Marina is located in Dundalk, Maryland, a community in Baltimore County along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, which serves as a major estuary connected to the Atlantic Coast. This setting provides access to the protected waters of the Chesapeake Bay, making it ideal for recreational sailing, fishing, and boating in a region known for its tidal influences and proximity to Baltimore's urban environment. The marina caters to boaters exploring the bay's extensive waterways and nearby coastal areas.
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.
