More from the Yacht Club website:
"The Club facilities are complete and well-staffed. The docks at the Club are very well protected from adverse weather and have electricity and water available. With boat slips ranging in length from 25 feet to 80 feet and a 35-ton travelift, you will find the right facilities for the largest and smallest boat. The MIYC is a full service marina with a repair shop, Ship's Store, gasoline and diesel fuel, and pumpout service. Though membership assures you a slip space and lower rates, transient and seasonal dockage is available to visitors at non-member rates on a space-available basis."

St. John's United Church of Christ



This church is very visible due to its location on the main drag. It's a charming building and has a nice garden next to it.
