The parking lot was vast because the only way to get to this marina was to drive, unless you lived in Moss Landing in which case you could walk. There is no public transit in Moss Landing.

Near to the entrance, where Sandholdt Road passed over a bridge, a small picnic area was set up. Because the hour was early and because the day threatened rain, the picnic area was deserted.
