We ended up staying 11 nights here after only thinking of we'd stay one or two tops. Only two miles from the marina is the breathtaking Croton Dam and Croton Dam Park is absolutely surreal. This is a must do/ see. Picnic in the that park and walk the trails or visit one of the three beautiful parks that surround the marina. There are fabulous yet very inexpensive restaurants all around the marina that are easily within walking distance. Quarter mile to half mile flat walk. We also visited the very cool and impressive Blaze Jack O Lantern Festival ( Get ticket on StubHub) Also, this a great marina to use a centralized location to do day trips south towards Manhattan or going up past Bear Mountain Bridge area and West Point and head up to the historic Bannermans island and Castle ruins near Newburgh. All of these are gorgeous sites. Highly recommend Half Moon Bay Marina. Wish we give Steve and his highly trained staff 6 stars. Staff was always available to help tie our lines. Thank you!
