    View of the beach from the pier.
    Sheri H.

    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.

    The dock.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Marina services are great, the covered slips are nice and are being updated. The fuel prices are the best in Puget Sound and it's Ethanol free! You have a wonderful market on Saturday's in the summer and nice restaurants within walking distance.

    See all

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

    If you want to really enjoy and have a good time, they have Anthony's restaurant on the other end of the Marina.
