CONSTRUCTION: “The Pearl at Marina Shores”
The Pearl at Marina Shores will tentatively begin renting
in the spring of 2020.
The access road to the marina property will remain a dirt road for a little while longer.
We hope to have the access road paved for the 2020 summer boating season and Surf Rider’s season opening.
We will keep you posted via email and Facebook posts, as we
are made aware of any changes with the ongoing construction or changes in the timeline.
Signature Management will be the property management company
for the apartments. Call Signature
Management at 757-937-0270 for rental
information and availability.
Additional information can be found on their website LIFEATPEARL.COM , and you can follow The Pearl at Marina Shores on Facebook to stay up to date with the progress. Check out their drone footage on Facebook, it’s really cool!
SECURITY UPGRADES: Coastal Security Group
Due to an increase in reports of non-member use of our
facilities, and to enhance overall security for our members and guests, we will be adding locks and
lighted exit signs to the restrooms.
Other security enhancements will include an upgraded alarm system and
video surveillance for the Admin building, Pool facilities and Restrooms.
The Coastal Security Group of Virginia Beach has been
contracted for this project.
The projected completion date for these security
enhancements is mid November 2019.
The restrooms will remain unlocked during administrative
business hours.
Only current boat members
will be allowed access to the restrooms after business hours.
More detailed information for member access to the restrooms will be emailed to all current members prior to project completion.

Winter Water Policy
Our waters in Virginia Beach, rarely get cold enough to freeze on Long Creek so we are lucky to be able to maintain running water throughout the majority of winter. However, there are some cold spells throughout the season that warrant some precautionary measures.
If temperatures are forecasted to be at or below freezing, our policy is to temporarily shut off the water valves to the docks to prevent pipes from bursting. An email notice is sent out to active members when these shut-offs are scheduled. We also try to remind boaters to fill up their water tanks regularly during the winter months in case there is an emergency shut off. Water to the pool restrooms remain on during these drops in temperature so please feel free to continue to use these restrooms during winter.
Pump It, Don’t Dump It!
We also have an agreement with Long Bay Pointe ( Lat: 36.9040 Long: -076.0731 ) for our members to utilize their pump out service. We do suggest you call ahead to assure there will be qualified staff available for your pump out. Long Bay Pointe’s phone number is 757-321-4550 .

Fuel Containers: Due to environmental regulations the EPA prohibits you from fueling your boat with outside containers.
