Answer
Most visitors arrive by car, coach, or air plus drive, but boaters can enter via the Inlet and bay channels to local marinas. Navigation charts, tides, and no-wake rules matter near crowded summer waterways. Confirm marina slip availability and current U.S. Coast Guard / Town guidance before planning a water arrival.
