The facility features a single-lane boat ramp with dedicated parking for vehicles with boat trailers.
**Amenities & Services:** As a full-service marina, Pine Island Commercial Marina offers improved docking facilities and recently underwent renovations including ramp widening and channel dredging. Daily parking fees apply for ramp use. Note that the marina is limited to commercial use Monday through Friday, so paddlers should verify availability before planning trips on weekdays.
**Nearby Paddling:** The location provides excellent access to two nearby national wildlife refuges—Pine Island NWR and Island Bay NWR—both offering shallow-water paddling opportunities and wildlife viewing. The shallow bays surrounding these refuges are ideal for kayaking and canoeing, with abundant shorebirds and coastal habitat to explore.
