Shelter Bay Marina's own site describes the Dock Restaurant (fresh, locally sourced food with a Caribbean-heritage menu), a bar, a mini market, a remodelled pool, gym and wifi packages. Noonsite also lists the Shelter Bay restaurant and hotel within the marina complex, and a cruiser report notes happy-hour beers at $1.51 (older price, verify locally). Pool and shuttle bus are reserved for boats docked in the marina; anchored boats pay $12 per day for the dinghy dock (2026 rate sheet). Cruisers' net VHF 77 at 7:30 am.
