Boater Reviews
Nice place to launch your boat. Usually very busy. Put in kayaks here too.
I went here late in the day to test out my new Old Town Kayak for the 1st time. It was too steep for me to back up a small trailer, so we carried them to the dock at the base of the ramp. I did notice the ramp had great traction and the two docks (one on each side of the ramp) are in excellent condition and looked to be pretty new. There was only one other Angler there getting ready to pull his canoe out of the water. I'm guessing this time of the year is not busy and perfect for a beginner like me to learn how launch with minimal pressure. I'm looking forward to launching there again soon and hopefully catching some Red Drum!
Single ramp in good condition but can be a wait. Not much water at low tide.
It's a boat ramp that functions like a boat ramp... There's a pier you can fish off of right next to it.
Large and plenty of space to park
