Parks' Marina

Parks’ Marina, situated on the western end of Tangier Island, is a testament to the enduring spirit of its founder, Milton Parks. Built in the 1960s by Parks himself, after long days of crabbing, this marina has been a welcoming haven for boaters for decades. With its 25 slips, electric and water hookups, and basic yet comfortable amenities like restrooms and showers, it offers a simple yet inviting atmosphere. The marina’s laidback charm is reflective of Parks’ warm hospitality and his stories of island life, told with a gentle, dry humor. As a significant part of Tangier Island’s history, Parks’ Marina continues to serve as a vital landmark, providing a tranquil docking place for a variety of vessels. Its proximity to the island’s town ensures easy access to other facilities, making it an ideal stop for those seeking to experience the rich heritage and serene beauty of Tangier Island.
