Paddle Boats is a marina situated in Smithville, New Jersey, a historic community in Galloway Township, Atlantic County, which lies in the coastal Pine Barrens region near the Atlantic Ocean and Absecon Bay. This location provides access to the calm, sheltered waterways of southern New Jersey, making it suitable for recreational paddle boating and other light boating activities. As a marina on the Atlantic Coast, it serves enthusiasts exploring the nearby bays, creeks, and estuarine environments influenced by the ocean's tides.
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.
