Medium-sized marina on a lake with multiple docks, a boat ramp, several buildings, and a medium surface parking lot containing numerous vehicles.
Sturgeon Creek Marina is located in Glenora, Virginia, a small community in Gloucester County along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, which serves as a major estuary connected to the Atlantic Coast. This marina caters to recreational boating and sailing enthusiasts who navigate the protected waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its surrounding rivers. It provides access to a region known for its historic tidal waterways and diverse marine environments.
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.
