Makah Marina: The staff at this new marina
invite boaters to Experience the natural beauty of
our corner of the world. The Makah Marina is located
in Neah Bay, near the farthest northwest point of
the contiguous United States, at the very tip of Washington
States Olympic Peninsula. When boating here from all
points east, west, north, or south you see the breathtaking,
rugged, irregular rock sculptured coastline and white
sandy beaches leading to the marina. This is the gateway
to the Pacific Ocean from Puget Sound, southern Vancouver
Island, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It is new
frontier waiting to be discovered by the boating family.
Permanent and overnight moorage is available in this
safe-harbor facility. Completed in 1997, it took over
30 years of patient lobbying for the Makah Tribe to
successfully coordinate the construction of the ultra
modern marina. Two hundred slips range in size from
30' to 70'. Vessels to, and in excess of, 100' can
also be accommodated. Water and power is available and is easily accessible.
Moorage slips are assigned on a first come, first serve
basis. The new Marina Facilities Building has restrooms and public showers. The
fuel dock dispenses gas, diesel, and lubricants. A
dump station, waste pump-out, and launch ramp are also
on site. Short and long term public parking is provided
for trailers and cars. Tourist attractions within walking
distance from the marina include the Makah Cultural
and Research Center (MCRC) where permanent exhibits
include artifacts from the Ozette site. Open daily
from Memorial Day through September 15. Transportation
can be arranged.
