Small marina with parallel docks along a bay shoreline adjacent to residential area with minimal unstructured surface parking visible.
Pier 88 Marina is situated in Dennis Township, New Jersey, along the Maurice River, which flows into the Delaware Bay and provides access to the Atlantic Coast in southern New Jersey's Cape May County. This marina serves recreational boaters and sailors exploring the protected inland waterways, such as the river and bay, as well as opportunities for coastal cruising along the Atlantic shoreline.
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.
