Boater Reviews
This is an okay boat ramp. I got some nice pictures/video but we won't be bringing our boat here. Probably not, at least. It does have ample room on the side of the road for a boat trailer without the trailer sticking out & a good bit of parking. On a few boaters the day I was there even though it was warm.
Quite local boat ramp... the town needs to take care of it better.
I been putting my boats in here every weekend and then shoot straight across to tugalo it only take me about 2 minutes to get to the beach from here
Very convenient, but it doesn't have lights or restrooms
I love fishing this area out of my kayak!
