Cap Sante Marina

Cap Sante Marina is a scenic, idyllic place to spend a weekend (or for 10 days at a time!), with many different things to do and some really useful amenities! There are a few different parking lots in this immediate vicinity, all with different rules, but in this specific one, the signs say 10-day parking. There was already a van-lifer there when I drove through (seen in the right side background of the parking lot picture). There's a sign for a laundry, as well as public restrooms just a few minutes walk away (near another one of the parking lots), and lots of trash cans around. There is a long paved pathway along the edge of the water all the way around the marina, lush, well-kept grassy stretches with picnic tables and adorable gazebos, and you can walk down the gang plank and stroll along the floating docks among the boats! As if that wasn't enough, the paved path doesn't end at the base of that forested hill (Cap Sante Park), it continues partway around its peninsula, and tucked away way out at the tip is a beautiful covered area with multiple picnic benches, and a secluded, picturesque little beach. You can also strike off the paved path and directly upward into the forest of the hill itself, where there are hiking trails blazed by bygone disc golfers. You can hike the fairly steep incline all the way up to the breathtaking panoramic lookout at the top! There's also a road leading up there with more parking, if you choose to drive there.
