POINT BAY HAS ALLOWED US DO OUR AWARDS BBQ AT THE MARINA AND HAS A GREAT NEW PICNIC AREA AT THE DOCK NEAR THE HILL UP TO THE STORE. BUT HAS VERY LIMITED PARKING AT THIS TIME.

IF YOU MUST COME TO THE MARINA WITH YOUR TRAILER PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THE PATRONS OF THE MARINA AND PARK IN AN ORDERLY MANOR ALONG THE ROAD IN TO THE MARINA LEAVING SPACE FOR CUSTOMERS TO GET IN AND OUT.
