Small full-service marina with multiple docks hosting boats, adjacent unpaved parking area with several vehicles, surrounded by wooded river shoreline.
Colonial Harbor Marina is situated in New Kent County, Virginia, along the Chickahominy River, a tidal waterway that flows into the Chesapeake Bay, part of the broader Atlantic Coast region. This location offers a protected, estuarine environment ideal for recreational boating and sailing in calm, navigable waters. The marina caters to activities such as fishing and pleasure cruising in the river and bay systems of southeastern Virginia.
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.
