Rivers Edge Marina...


I've had a few people ask which marina we're staying at and it's called River's Edge Marina (previously Oyster Creek Marina).  This is not the fanciest marina in St. Augustine, but it is by far the friendliest.  The facilities consist of 1 set of bathrooms (each with 2 stalls and 2 showers - 1 of the shower stalls is handicapped and does have an extra head), washers/dryers, a pavilion with picnic tables and a fire pit. 

This is about a "middle of the road" marina compared to other's in the area, the prices are reasonable and after visiting the other marina's, I'm positive this one has the nicest office staff and boaters around.  There are regular Wednesday Night Pot Luck's and on Saturday morning's, Dock Master Paul greets us with doughnuts and coffee from Dunkin' Donuts:-) 

River's Edge is also extremely close to downtown, so you can easily walk or bike to get around.  Winn Dixie is about 2 blocks away and that shopping center has fast food and sit-down dining available.  Target and K-Mart are both within about 1 1/2 miles and there's plenty of small shops to browse within a 2 mile radius.  Over all, Rivers Edge is in a very convenient location.

There is a neat little restaurant called Hurricane Patty's right inside the marina (Happy Hour price's all day for the live aboard's here:-) and there's almost always a great band in the evenings.  But don't worry, they stop playing around 10:00 and you really cannot hear them on the boats anyway.

I have to say that this little marina isn't bad at all and I'm pretty glad we decided to stay here...
