Boater Reviews
Nice ramp, it wasn't crowded on a Wednesday in September. Chased some tailing reds with the fly. I will definitely be back
Gate is open, just after sunset, beautiful night!
48 hour max parking. Right before the bridge to Fripp. Dock available. Good sunset. Dolphins occasionally.
Seems like a good place to launch from. Parking for trailers may be limited in peak seasons. It's not easy to see that Fripp point community over adjacent bridge is all private.
Small out- of -the way boat landing with a small parking lot. No facilities or picnic tables though. Fairly easy access near the entrance to Fripps Island Bridge.
