Airport near marina/docks

[Tootles5882]

Dumb question alert

There is a small airport that has very little activity within 5 miles of a marina full of charter/crab boats where you can get some really cool photos... Do I call that nearby airport and ask for permission to fly around the marina? Any ideas how to ask?
TY!!

If you are a hobby flier, you call airport when you will be flying within 5 miles to "notify" them that you will be flying, not to ask permission. If you are a part 107 flier, not contact is required. If no tower, just call the airport manager. If no one answers, leave a message with name, contact info, where, when and how high you will be flying.

If it's very small, they probably don't have a manned tower. You may have to try several times to contact someone there.
