Small residential dock area along a sandy beach with scattered houses and a modest unpaved parking area near the water's edge.
Starport Marina is located in Pere Marquette Charter Township, Michigan, along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, a major body of water in the Great Lakes system, nestled in the western Lower Peninsula of Michigan amidst a region known for its sandy beaches and forested landscapes. It serves recreational boaters and sailors who navigate the expansive, freshwater waters of Lake Michigan for leisure activities such as sailing and fishing. This marina is situated in a community that benefits from the natural beauty and accessibility of the Great Lakes region.
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.
