Safe Harbor Marina
Visiting by boat
Safe Harbor Marina sits right on the Charleston waterfront at 7 Lockwood Drive, putting you steps away from the historic downtown peninsula with its restaurants, galleries, and iconic architecture. It's a genuinely prime spot — an Intracoastal marina with boat slips and dry storage, and the kind of setup that's earned it a Marinas.com Elite Fleet Boater's Choice award. From here you can easily explore Charleston Harbor, Fort Sumter, and the surrounding coastal waterways.
