Large marina with extensive finger docks packed with boats and a large adjacent striped asphalt parking lot containing numerous vehicles.
Gulfway Marine Services is a marina located in the Village of Port Washington North, New York, on the northern shore of Long Island, where it overlooks the waters of Long Island Sound, a sheltered estuary connected to the Atlantic Ocean. This geographic setting provides access to the dynamic coastal environment of Long Island's North Shore, characterized by its proximity to urban New York while offering relatively calm waters for boating. The marina serves recreational sailing and boating activities in Long Island Sound, appealing to enthusiasts exploring this historic maritime 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.
