Boater Reviews
Nice place to Paddle Board. For the most part you can stay out of boat traffic and wind. I went CW from Boat Ramp into some of the Coves.
Alot of room to turn and put your boat in. Easy parking, especially on a weekday. Nice bathroom right by the boat ramp and also plenty of dock space to park your boat.
Nice but crowded we about got hit by a child on a jet ski that came in full power on it. Alot of people can't speak english.
Could be better, but poorly managed and compete chaos with the number of people and vehicles. Might have been due to there being no fees, but not sure.
Not a good place to launch kayaks. Upon arrival, we were greeted with an employee in golf cart stating we were NOT allowed to use boat launch. We were forced to put in on rocky area. There is NO signs saying kayak launch is not allowed at boat launch. I won’t go back. It’s too bad. Directly across at town launch is more welcoming for kayakers.
