Shine Landing is a large, mostly open, subdivision of 95 lots. All of the lots are a minimum of half an acre with a view as large as 2 acres. There 2 community marinas on the property along western edge of Dawson Creek. Dawson Creek leads to the Neuse River. However there is a bridge one must pass under to get into the Neuse. The bridge has a fixed height of 13 feet. Being on the north side of the Neuse, that height could be lessened by wind driven water. So sailboats are out unless you are willing to step the mast.
Height restrictions aside, the marinas are is well made and well equipped. The center pier is double width with a ‘hog slat’ surface. Slips are doubles with piles in between and partial length fingers. There are utility pedestals for ever other slip. And there’s a pavilion and picnic area for relaxing.
