Holloway's Marina stands out as a unique destination in Big Bear Lake, blending rich history with modern amenities. Established in 1914 by Charles Holloway, a passionate nurseryman and fisherman from Corona, this marina began with a simple vision. After hauling boat parts up the old Clark Grade, he was approached by a potential renter even before launching his boat. Recognizing the demand, Charles expanded his vision into a thriving camp featuring 16 cozy cabins, 30 rental boats, a general store, and even a barbershop.
In 1971, the property transitioned to new ownership when Marge and Don Hafen, along with Betty and Bruce Turner, purchased it from the Moores, marking the end of a 57-year era. The Hafen/Turner family further enhanced the marina's offerings by acquiring an additional three acres of land, allowing for even more growth and development.
Today, Holloway's Marina remains a cornerstone of the Big Bear Lake community, welcoming visitors from around the globe. With its picturesque surroundings, guests can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including fishing, hiking, and exploring nearby natural features. The marina's close proximity to swimming holes, restaurants, and shops makes it an ideal spot for both relaxation and adventure.
