Visited by car 2/2024 while scouting marinas for a planned cruise down the coast. I was quoted transient rate of $100/night. Water & 50amp power at the slip. Fuel & pumpout are available. Onsite ship's store has a deli with limited food items. The onsite restaurant was destroyed in a fire, and has not been rebuilt.

The grounds are resort like, and are in good condition. Swimming pool and mini-golf are onsite. The marina is inside a gated area, with a guard at the front gate. Marina grounds are remote, nothing is within walking distance.

I was told depth inside the marina is about 10 feet, with approaches shallower at around 4 to 6 feet.

Stayed July 2 and 3, 2023: Traveled with 4 other boats/couples. Pros: Very clean marina just off the GICW in Hitchcock TX. 30 minutes by boat from Galveston. Very nice facility, with floating docs, fuel and free pump out. Nice ship store w food. Pool for over 21 and a separate kids pool. Bar at the adult pool is a nice plus, but not opened every day. Rita was a great help in all things related to our stay. Bathrooms and Showers were nice compared to most marinas. We were there on a really hot weekend and there are lots of umbrellas and nice awning by the pool to protect you. Putt putt course was fun.
Cons:
Had problems with power surges and the Marina had electricians working on it quickly. Horseflies at dusk were bad so we jumped back in the pool. They were out for less than an hour. Other than the well stocked ship store there are no nearby amenities so come with everything you need.

We enjoyed our stay and will return.

Harborwalk has a ship’s store with a variety of items from gifts to groceries to boat maintenance. It has a deli sandwich service. The restaurant on site, should open soon. Bath houses are clean and nice. Laundry room is in the bath house. The pools are beautiful. There’s plenty of places to walk. The docks have wide finger piers running the length of the boats. Docks are floating, lighted and have electricity and water. It’s a beautiful place. If you don’t have a car, be prepared to stay in the marina. There are restaurants and shopping nearby, but not walking distance. There’s also a fuel dock and pumpout.

Harborwalk is a very nice marina. It’s well kept, has nice floating docks and great amenities
The canal and approach can get skinny, at a decent high tide you’re only going to get slightly more than 6 feet

The facilities at Harborwalk are in the process of being upgraded. The 3 pools were completely refinished in the summer of 2019 but are close for the winter. Channel from ICW to the Marina entrance dredged to 8 feet in spring/summer 2019 however there are still some 5 foot bumps at low tide. At this time the restaurant has been renovated but it is not open. It may open again in the spring or summer this year (2019). Gasoline and Diesel available year round but the store hours are limited during the winter and it is only open Thursday - Sunday. There are 16 very nice and large floating transient slips at the bulkhead adjacent to the pools.

Very nice marina. Helpful staff and very good facilities. Restaurant is closed due to hurricane but grill in ship store is ok. Only issue is shallow water at entrance off ICW. Harbor is ok.
