MARINA
(910) 449-6578
Our Marina offers dry storage, boat slips, watercraft rentals, primitive camp sites and so much more. Drive down to the water take a look around and chat with our knowledgeable staff. We recommended patrons call ahead due to the ever-changing Carolina weather; we have to roll with the tide. The Marina also operates under seasonal hours during fall and winter.

Anyone under the age of 26 operating a vessel powered by a 10 horsepower or greater motor on public waterways must complete an approved boater safety course. Vessel operators must be able to show compliance upon request of a law enforcement officer. If you plan to rent one of our watercraft please plan ahead and make sure you complete the approved safety courses. If you have questions, please contact the Marina staff before heading out on the water.

If you intend on fishing during your stay please make sure you have the appropriate licenses. Fishing licenses may be purchased at the MCX Lejeune Annex and Wal-Mart. A base fishing license authorizes the user to fish only in base ponds and can be purchased on Lejeune at the MCX Annex.
