Medium-sized marina with multiple docks, slips occupied by boats, and a small surface parking lot with several vehicles amid wooded surroundings.
Magnum Point Marina is located in Smiths Paradise, Virginia, along the Atlantic Coast, nestled on the eastern shoreline of the state where the land meets the vast Atlantic Ocean and is influenced by nearby coastal features like barrier islands and tidal rivers. This marina serves recreational boating and sailing enthusiasts who navigate the dynamic waters of the Atlantic, including opportunities for coastal cruising and fishing in the region's bays and inlets. Its position in southeastern Virginia provides access to both open ocean expanses and protected estuarine environments typical of the mid-Atlantic seaboard.
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.
