Marina on Mackeys Creek off the south shore of Albemarle Sound, near Roper in North Carolina, opposite Edenton.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Reached from Albemarle Sound by entering the deep Kendrick or Mackeys Creek on the south shore. Sheltered berths take vessels up to about 40 feet with up to 5 feet draught.

Practical

Long and short-term berths. A travel lift and full boat services are on site, with a marine store and bait for sound fishing. The Landing Restaurant serves casual food at the marina.

History

Fishing houses have lined Mackeys Creek since the 1700s. In 1899 the Norfolk-Southern Railroad brought in the John W. Garrett train ferry, and a railway trestle through Mackeys Landing was completed in 1910.
