Summary

Beaver Island Marina was a harbor-side business active in the early 2000s. A 2001 Charlevoix Courier advertisement and Beaver Beacon community reports in 2003–2004 establish the name and civic presence, while current OSM mapping puts marina amenities immediately beside Bay Street in St. James.

The held sources do not identify the operator, legal entity, or exact historical street address. The Bay Street relation is therefore a cautious spatial link, not a claim that every later marina or municipal dock used this name.

    The advertisement names Beaver Island Marina and gives the email Pat@BeaverIslandMarina.com. It does not provide a street address or identify the operator. No public copy of this file is known; the archive holds one and can provide it on request.
