It is a nice place to walk around. Very relaxing. There is a Pokemon gym in the area and many Pokestops. There is a restaurant in the area: Anthony. Parking is not free here but you can park outside the pay parking area and just walk to the Marina. The walk is less than 5 mins depending on where you park but like I said there are plenty of free parking in the area. There are a few nice statues or artworks installed here for photo taking. A great place for a nice stroll after dinner or lunch. read more

So pretty, peaceful, and full of activity. Today I went for some extracurricular Pokémon hunting. Pros: Parking Space Pokémon stops and gyms for the players Cons: Lots of construction Paid parking usually? So we went down for a quick trip to check out the place. In order to get around, it took some weaving, bobbing, and the occasional football move to clear construction. It's WORTH IT!!!!! Pokemon: GO players - too many poke stops to count, including 6 in 1 area, and multiple gyms. Now for the real stuff, this view. Oh my (insert your higher power here). Breathtaking views of the water, islands, surrounding vistas, and that smell of salt water and crab, I need to put up a tent. There is also a marina, they had live music going, and a good solid crowd. People were fishing for crab, fish, boating, and enjoying themselves. I didn't see anyone swimming but I was there at 6pm. GO to the bathroom before going. Right now, there's only a portapotty. If you need that break to just take in the view, this is the one. Bring a picnic, a camera,or just yourself and leave everything else behind. read more

With walking trails, beautiful views, a park area, and boating, the Des Moines Marina is a great place to stop by, even if you're not into boating! There's a park area with plenty of grass, a paved trail, and both Anthony's HomePort and Oyster Bar & Grill for lunch/dinner. There's a long pier that allows for fishing and crabbing. There's usually some delightfully interesting people out there, especially later in the evening. The Marina also hosts the Farmers' Market during the growing season - definitely one of the better markets in this area! read more

This marina has stunning views of Vashon Island, Des Moines, Redondo Beach and the surrounding areas. The fishing pier jets out quite a ways and is great for a jog or visit as well. There are a few rickety wooden benches. You can walk down to the beach where there is usually a lot of seabirds. Various vendors sell things here, like seashell windchimes. Yesterday, there was a taco truck selling tacos for $1 along with chips, drinks and other goodies. This is a great place to go outside, people watch, get some exercise and picnic. read more

Every chance I get, I'll come out here to the Des Moines Marina! Either to enjoy the view of the Ocean on the docks or gatherings/get-togethers w the family! I really do enjoy walking on the docks, very relaxing and peaceful! On the other end, there's an area which is perfect, and not as crowded as lakes or beaches when we want to have a small bbq outing! We come out here every Independence Day to celebrate America's birthday, hang out at the carnival which they have, and watch the fireworks! Love it! It's always clean and maintained. A lot of dog walkers and cyclers coming through here and there. They also have this food truck there. I've never tried anything on it but it seems to be a line when it's there. Overall, besides the new fee ($1) for entering which sucks, and the bathroom which I feel needs attention, I love this Marina and will be here on occasions to enjoy the breeze! read more

Nice setting on the water. A lot quieter than going into Seattle. Wife's chowder was good.

So nautical! Plenty of parking space, vehicle and boat wise ;) the marina is quaint and traditional with a small town feel. The crowd is diverse and cozy. It's so fun to walk down the massive fishing dock and take in the panoramic sound view that's generously framed my mountain ranges and peninsulas. The docks accommodate fishermen with cleaning/gutting stations. Sunday farmers market is held when the season permits. Right next to nature trails and parks. Plenty of benches and pick nick tables. In the heart of downtown Des Moines. Baby seals, star/sun fish, crabs and all sorts of fun sea creatures to be observed! read more

I don't spend much time in Des Moines and prior to last week, had never attempted to visit the marina. Parking is plentiful and the views are great! The boats, mountains, water, and more! There's a little beach park on the right hand side perfect for exploring. The fam and I enjoyed a leisurely walk across the length of the Marina, stopping to take pictures here and there. One of the things I enjoyed about being here was the ability to get away from a highly urban environment back to a more serene, peaceful place in 30 minutes. read more

Perfect place for taking a walk to begin the morning, to end the day or both. They have a nice coffee shop around the corner, mainly a beer / wine garden. Plenty of parking spaces. Always nice sunsets. The bridge goes into the water pretty deep. There is also a trail that's 2 miles one way. If you want to really enjoy and have a good time, they have Anthony's restaurant on the other end of the Marina. Spectacular views and sitting arrangements. read more

I called to see if I could come in one day early on an already existing 2 day reservation and was put on hold for almost 10 minutes before I was cut off. I tried calling back, and was shifted to voic e mail where I stated who I was and what I wanted. I tried calling back for 4 hours and was always shifted to voice mail. After I left a message I completed an online request and did not receive any response after 5 hours. It is a nice little marina, but the customer service is poor Bruce K That night I got an email that the marina had lost power so no phone or email and was told to call the gas dock in the morning, which I did and they had room. The office followed up later to make sure my request was taken care of, which is good customer service read more

Looking for easy access to a salt water beach? The DMM is the perfect location. There is ample paid parking, asphalt paths connecting parking lot to beach, and even a small outdoor beer garden near the pier. There is a small park located behind the beach access path. This grassy area allows visitors to set up chairs, enjoy lunch, throw the frisbee, or anything else that requires comfort on a sunny day. Looking for a meal after? There are several restaurants a few blocks away- just Yelp search them! read more

Today I and a few friends went to Des Moines Pier to go crabbing on the last day of the season. With two crab pots and a couple of turkey legs, we cast our pots over the pier and tied them alongside the many others there. Our first pull brought up only 1 red rock crab, but the second brought up 3 dungeness keepers. Not too bad for the last day of the season! With the free parking, long pier, and friendly patrons sharing their tips and stories, Des Moines Marina Pier made for a fun crabbing experience. Although the sign says No Pets on the pier, we brought our two small dogs and our friends brought their cats, and they met a bunch of other pets along the way. Overall this is a great place to try crabbing and there are a lot of friendly people there too. read more

We moor our boat here and really like it. I really like the security of the private docs. A majority of the docs are covered giving boats extra protection and making it easy to work on your boat on rainey days. The facilities are clean and the people are nice. The location is great, just a short walk to restaurants. The fuel prices are very competitive and the dumping station is convenient. Located between Seattle and Tacoma make this a nice location for day trips. Gorgeous scenery, no matter which direction you go. Downside moorage can be a little high compared to other marinas. In addition, having to re-zinc our boat about every 90 days. read more

We stayed overnight at the marina on Wednesday night, July 31st, and had a great time at the concert in the park. The facilities were nice and the staff friendly and helpful. The reason for the bad review is that we gassed up in the morning before we left for Edmonds. We didn't get 2 miles away and both my engines started overheating and completely died. No question we got bad gas, probably water in the gas because I've got steam coming out of both exhausts. I called and advised them that day but they said no one else reported a problem. They claimed the gas had been delivered that Monday. I hope there's no permanent damage to the engines. read more

I basically grew up here. Almost every day before I would go to school when I was little, my mom would bring me here. There is a huge park, and walking trails. There are picnic benches and a indoor area. Large parking lots as well. Bathrooms located by the pier. Check the tide charts and you can walk around on the beach at low tide and find moonsnails, seashells, jellyfish and even little crabs underneath the rocks. Please if you overturn a rock, return it to how you found it so the cute little crabs still have their home. There is a long pier, lots of people fish off the end or drop pots for crab. Keep your eyes open as you walk down it, I almost always see seels out in the water swimming around - I've seen blue herons and jellyfish too. Over by the boat area, you can walk down by the boats and check out the water down there too - you can see starfish and crabs. I love this place! read more

Great place for a quick stroll or to walk off a heavy meal. I have come here during the day and at night. It is also a wonderful place to watch the sunset at the end of the long pier. There is plenty of parking so that is never an issue. Everyone is so friendly and there are usually people either fishing or crabbing at the pier. read more

I'm surprised to see that the Des Moines Marina has yet to be reviewed! It's a beautiful marina complete with a great little beach park next to it. My boyfriend, his daughter, and I went there today (yes, in the rain!) to check out the beach. Even though it was a drizzly day, we saw some great views from the park and wandered around catching hermit crabs and little fish. Afterwards, we walked out on the long fishing pier at the marina and watched the birds diving in search of food. There are tons of boats moored here and, from what I see online, there are farmer's markets when the weather is better. There are also public restrooms, which is a bonus. I'd love to come back here on a sunny summer day because I am sure that it is even more beautiful! read more

Beautiful views -- especially during sunset. Well maintained. Not overly crowded (unless it's crabbing season) so there's plenty of parking. Great park with benches too. read more

Such a nice spot to walk around and get some fresh air! There's a dock you can fish of off and depending on high or low tide, you can go swimming! They have markets here as well and festivals. read more

Moved away for months ago never knew how much I missed my walks on the docks and the salt air. Great place to have a pick nicks

Great pier for crabbing & fishing, bathrooms are decent, nice park to picnic and sit in. Signs for no bbq's allowed in the grassy area on the NE side of park, but there are grills available by the pier. Kayaking & SUP available in the summer Lots of Pokémon players lately, I say smash into them with your equipment, they should watch where they're going anyway (even though I'm one of them!). About 9 close proximity pokestops in the pier area read more

Really like this place for a quick walk or a lunch break. Huge parking lot with spectacular views, even saw a bald eagle enjoying his lunch last week. You can walk the trails at the park next door or just around the pier and boats. Cool place to also look at tide pools as the shore is pretty steep and water levels significantly change depending on time of day. read more

Before deciding where to moor the boat year around, I checked out many marinas, from Everett to Tacoma, within an hour drive of home. I have to say this place won easily. Easy commute from Seattle after work. Easy and plentiful parking. Secure docks. Secure restroom and shower. The restrooms and showers are clean and also HEATED when its cold out. *Clean and heated* is worth a lot to me as a year around boater. There's a boat lift for your use if you bring your boat on a trailer, plus there's a really nice boat service yard, CSR Marine, in the parking lot that does great work with their own big lift. I don't know where they find their staff, because they are unendingly patient, kind, thoughtful and helpful 24/7/365. You can't pay people to be this gracious. They just are that way. For all you get here, (clean, secure, parking, shore power, two free pump out stations, cheap marine fuel, private showers, great location) the fees are super reasonable and way better than Seattle or Tacoma. And quieter, too. Plus you can watch the annual fireworks on the pier from your boat. How cool is that! read more

Long dock and pier, marina, small park, and lots of people crabbing, fishing, and smoking. A south end place frequently used, and a quick visit to see the sound. read more

I have been here twice in the last two months... first with a group of teenage girls, and then second with some younger sprouts. Both had a great time! They younger ones like it when the tide it out and they can go forever looking for treasures! We plan on coming here again and again, and on Wednesday nights, there are concerts and food trucks! woot! cannot go wrong. I will bring more water (to drink), more buckets (for collecting) and snacks next time and we will be set. read more

Went here today with my Uncle Rico and we walked on the dock. We saw lots and lots of Jellyfish and lots and lots of people fishing and crabbing. Adults and children. We even saw a sea lion pup. The Sea lion pup was soooooooooooooooo cute!! read more

Great little marina with incredibly nice staff. I was going to get a spot for my boat at another marina closer to Browns point but then I realized that Marina didn't have a boat launch. I called around and found this Marina is better priced, cleaner, safer, closer to my house & there is marine/boat services near by. Great choice! read more

Warm Day, slight breeze coming off the sound. Tide is way out, makes for great beach combing. Also Des Moines is having their farmers market with live music! And if a great lunch or Dinner is something your looking for Anthony's Homeport is a short walk away. read more
