Port of Astoria – East Basin

Located 15.6 miles up the mouth of the Columbia River, the East Basin offers boaters an array of services and berthing options. This basin is home for much of Astorias fishing fleet, and is well suited to commercial vessel moorage. Many recreational boaters moor their boats here as well, because they prefer the peaceful environment of the East Basin. The Astoria-Megler Bridge serves as the backdrop to awe-inspiring sunsets from this marina. There are a total of 82 slips at this marina, many of which are available for guest moorage seasonally. A public pier, 1,300 by 42 foot paved surface on the East Basin breakwater now allows anglers a place to cast their lines into the Columbia River. Non-fishers can also stroll along the resurfaced area to enjoy glimpses of marine and sea life, and a birds-eye view of Tongue Point.
