North Carolina marina adds new public docks
Carolina Beach Municipal Marina in Carolina Beach, N.C., now offers transient slips open for public use, according to a June 7 Island Gazette report. For numerous years the old floating public docks have been falling into disrepair and experienced little or no use.
The new floating docks include a pumpout facility and ramp.
Wells Construction Company built the docks on the southwest corner of the facility along the Cape Fear River. The docks were transported down the river in May to the marina, where the final decking was constructed.
In an effort to revitalize the area, the town hopes the docks will encourage transient boaters to visit the Carolina Beach Central Business District restaurants and shops.
