Medium-sized marina with multiple docks, slips, and a central building surrounded by a surface parking lot amid residential structures on a coastal bay.
Sunset Pointe Marina is located in Middlesex County, Virginia, along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, a major estuary on the Atlantic Coast, providing a sheltered and scenic setting amid the tidal waters and marshlands of the Northern Neck region. It serves recreational boaters and sailors navigating the Chesapeake Bay's calm, protected waters, which connect to various tributaries like the Rappahannock River for activities such as cruising and fishing in this historic coastal area.
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.
