Medium-sized marina with multiple piers packed with boats along a sandy shoreline bay, surrounded by residential buildings and trees with a small unpaved parking area nearby.
Around since the 1920s, the marina is the heart of the Boston Harbor neighborhood and provides a relaxing, beautiful destination for all South Sounders. Located about 7 miles north of Olympia, Boston Harbor Marina sports amazing views of the Sound set against the backdrop of the magnificent Olympic Mountain Range.
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.
