My wife and I have eaten here at least a dozen times since moving to the area last year. We love…read morethe place. The food is excellent and the people even better. We came from a big city known for its restaurants and while we love living here, sometime the eating out options seem limited. Margarita Jacks definitely helps fill that gap but with much nicer people than the big city. :)

There are specials, most popular are oyster mondays and steak saturdays, great deals then, but rumor is it gets crazy busy/crowded. Its pricey, but worth it.

I made a reservation, took my pontoon boat to their dock at 9 AM and had a spotless boat at 4:30 PM. I couldn't be happier.

The views while boating the area are gorgeous and the staff was friendly and made recommendations of where to stop (a couple waterfalls nearby). We were a little doubtful at first that we were going the right way to the location- but it ended up being easy to find. Would definitely go back!

The boats come with a map of the lake and you can rent tubes, skis or knee boards. The office staff are friendly and very helpful. They make sure everyone has a good time on the lake. A great marina on a beautiful lake!

We visited La Prades for my husbands birthday renting a boat for 1/2 day. The last thing I would…read morehave thought I would in the world we live in now is the cleanliness of the boat. I was so embarrassed. The boat looked like they pulled it out of storage that had been sitting for months. We've owned several boats and this condition does not happen overnight nor in a week or month and to think people are renting these boats in these conditions. Pics attached. We will not be back.

Once again, a great Memorial day boating trip on Lake Hartwell thanks to Harbor Light Marina. I've…read morerented a deck boat for the day from these guys probably around 6 or 7 times now. They're easy to deal with, the boats are fun, and I think the prices are reasonable. During the summer it's $349 plus gas for the day. We use it for tubing and knee boarding. The kids love it,. Some tips: Ask for ski vests. They're free but if you get busted by the rangers without them, you'll get a hefty fine. Radios don't work, so bring your own boom box. If you are staying at Tugelo, it's very quick by water and easy to find the park once you you're on the lake, but bring a park map so you can find your particular camp site easily.

You can find Harbor Light Marina at 1476 Harbor Light Marina Rd Lavonia, GA 30553. Access is via a…read moreroad right off the Whitworth Rd (Hwy 77) Exit from I85 near Lavonia. Go across the interstate and it's the first accessible right to Harbor Light Marina Rd. There seems to be a lot of parking either at the clubhouse/restaurant level or down closer to the water. This seems to be a fairly well maintained marina - I've visited a few times as one of my friends keeps his boat there. It doesn't seem to be super busy, especially if you get there before lunch - seems most of the local boaters come later in the afternoon. The lake itself is beautiful and very clean/clear. It also seems less populated than the nearby party lakes so if you're into casual swimming this is the place for you.
