    Giant marina, so big they gave us a free golf cart. No answer or response on the radio or telephone and the fuel dock was short handed.

    Open and almost empty, walk to the RR Hall and restaurants aren't too far. Needs some repairs in restroom, door lock, plumbing on the dock but overall servicable.

    We had heard the place was rough and there are a few blemishes but they took us in when we had a mechanical problem, connected us to a good mechanic and overall the marina was good. Save A lot is nearby and a few restaurants are close but downtown Dunkirk has seen better days.

    We waited a month here for the Erie Canal to open. It is a welcoming boating community with great personalities! Well protected. The walk across the bridge is only 30 minutes, Uber is also available. Restaurants are worth trying. The place could use a clean up of debris and some new decks and some paint but it has a good heart.

    Nice bathrooms, welcoming and accommodating. Go in from the south close to shore with the small red buoys on your starboard.

    Looking a bit shabby, dirty bathrooms, laundry not available, floating garbage, locals say don't get fuel there, no sign of pump out,under staffed.
