update on the Broad Creek Marina near Oriental, NC. The owners dug out the marina from the highwater mark and have built 400 floating concrete docks, which will make it the largest marina in
North Carolina. The development is called River Dunes and the developer is also developing big buck home sites. At this time all they need to do is open up the dam and flood the new marina area. They may delay will they
work on support systems, hire personnel, etc. Broad Creek is just off the
ICW less than a mile or so before Oriental, NC if you are southbound. We sure need a few more marinas on the
east coast to ease crowding.
North Carolina marinas are now full most of the time. There is a new marina in Whittaker Creek (Oriental) and it has a number of empty slips but the marina has some issues with skinny
water.
