Medium-sized marina with multiple parallel docks packed with boats and a small adjacent unpaved parking area with no visible vehicles.
Moonbeam Great Kills Marina is located in Great Kills, a neighborhood on Staten Island in New York, New York, nestled along the shores of Great Kills Harbor, which opens into Raritan Bay on the Atlantic Coast. This marina serves recreational boating and sailing activities, offering access to the sheltered waters of the harbor and the nearby coastal routes of the New York metropolitan area. Its position in the urbanized yet coastal region of Staten Island makes it a gateway for boaters venturing into the Atlantic's northeastern waters.
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.
