Boater Reviews
Awesome spot to launch paddle boards! My wife has been going to Cherry Grove her whole life and never knew about this spot! We loved launching our paddle boards here and paddling along the waterway and beautiful marsh! We loved looking at all the houses along the water and the waterfront golf course. The best part was the beach we found!
Parking is $4 a hour. Waste of money.The fishing is subpar. You'll only be successful if you live close and don't park in the park. Do not venture out on low tide with the oyster bars, you will cut yourself i did. The residents show up early (6am) and take all the great spots. If you wanna go. Have someone drop you off, take the prime spots.
Such a beautiful place to just take a walk and relax after a long day at work.
Super place to see a sunset. Kayak ramp is great idea.
Boat landing accompanied by a small Park in Cherry Grove. There's also a small Pier where you're allowed to fish and crab.
