Barber's Marina

You can judge for yourself if the trip was worth it.  We meet several families who had made the trip to see the marina statues, the dinosaurs and Bamahenge.  It must be listed in tour guides of the area.
This charming fellow is popular with kids who visit the marina.

These monoliths are full size replicas.  It doesn't have a 100 percent of the stones
but enough that at the solstice you have the same light effect as /Stonehenge

The "stones" are made of well crafted fiberglass.

Another view.  This is one of the key ways

The explanation of Stonehenge and Bamahenge.

The marina is vast and currently full.  It also has a huge haulout-repair facility,, a huge indoor
dry storage, ship's store and super nice staff.
 
One of a series of lakes visible just off the road.


The back of one of the driftwood seats.  Sorry for the glare, this was the best
I could adjust for the sun being directly behind it.

The front of the crab chair.

One of a pair of creatures on either side of the road leading to the haul out area.

This cutie is a laddie's room decoration.

One of several fountains.

One of several driftwood benches.

Elephant bench located on one of the dock aprons.  The beautiful stone
walkway surrounds the dock areas.

Neptune's Fountain greets visitors are you approach the marina proper.

The lady in the water is a statue that actually come out of the water
for hurricanes,  If you click for a closeup you can even see the strands of
hair so carefully painted on.

The lady greets those arriving my water.

This is one of the parking lots.  Beautifully landscaped as well as any
botanical garden.  All the grounds look this nice.  The road is also well groomed.

Seahorses greet you on another side road.

Stegosaurus  has been climbed on so much some of his spines were nissing. 

Full side view.

Giant sundial.

T-Rex coming at you from the woods!

T-Rex finds a buddy.

Another dino cutie!

A few of the boats make you wonder why they bother paying slip fees.
This boat was in horrible shape but I guess the owner has a creative mind.
He had fashioned a tiller from a tree branch.  The fitting was carefully milled
to fit around the rudder stock.
