Hilton Beach Marina

Hilton Beach is located on the northeast coast of St. Joseph Island and is the major port of call in the western North Channel.

Hilton Beach is about 1.5 miles south of the usual sailing track at the east end of the St. Joseph Channel and the approaches are clear whether coming from northwest, north or northeast. A white obelisk war memorial immediately northwest of the dock is prominent from the channel. The entrance is marked by a flashing red light (List Light 1052) and a port hand black day mark.

The Hilton Beach Marina is one of the largest and most modern ports on the North Channel. A high percentage of the 180 slips are for transient guests, and an 8 foot minimum depth is maintained at all slips.

Each boater is provided with a 30 amp or 20 amp electrical hookup, a potable water hookup, and 24-hour access to the modern marina building. This facility provides shower, washroom and laundry facilities, daily weather reports, telephone access and wireless Internet access, all included with dockage.
