Great marina with concrete floating docks. Friendly staff. Tiki bar on the dock and restaurant on site. No WI-FI or pump out at this time due to 2023 storms.

Anchorage Review for Jensen Beach North

The noise from the causeway park was constant from 1:00 PM when we arrived until way passed 11:00 PM. Loud music from vagrant park users and loud exhaust and vehicle noise from the local "Ricers" was virtually unbearable. No law enforcement was observed during that time and the City of Jensen Beach doesn't appear to even have a police force. Too bad, the town residents allow this to go on un-controlled.

Stayed here last November before storing the boat for the winter. Now after 2 months of maintenance we are back to stage the next leg of our trip south. Surf City is a spot that will keep pulling you back when you are in the area. Dockmaster Dee is the best. She will spot you making the corner into the channel, guide you to your slip, help you dock, and get you checked in. After that, a short walk and you are on one of the best beaches on the east coast. Bring your leashed pets for a great stroll along the waves.
