Medium-sized marina with multiple docks and slips along a river inlet, surrounded by wooded areas with minimal unpaved gravel parking and no visible vehicles.
Ginney Point Marina is located in Mathews County, Virginia, on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, an expansive estuary that connects to the Atlantic Ocean, providing a sheltered yet coastal environment in this rural, tidewater region of the Northern Neck. Situated amidst scenic marshlands and waterways, the marina offers access to the calm, navigable waters of the Chesapeake Bay, making it suitable for recreational sailing, fishing, and boating in this historically maritime area. This setting allows boaters to explore the bay's intricate network of rivers and inlets while being protected from the open Atlantic's more intense conditions.
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.
