The marina lies between Riverside Drive and the Intracoastal Waterway. Docks hold sailboats and motorboats, while smaller vessels are stacked on racks above the water. Masts rise above the roofs along the shore. Lines secure boats to the pilings, and fenders cushion the hulls.
Hoses coil near the water. Coolers and life jackets rest beside rental carts. The bait-and-tackle shop faces the slips, while kayaks and small boats fill the spaces between racks and fences. Signs point to restrooms, restrict access, and warn of manatees in the channel. Near shore, boats crowd together. Farther out, the docks open toward the channel. Water moves between hulls and pilings, and boats rock against their lines. Beyond the last slip, the water widens into the Intracoastal.
