Boater Reviews
Very well maintained boat ramp. There's a decent amount of parking for trucks and trailers as well as some spots for single vehicles as well. Also it's a beautiful place as you can tell from my sunset photo... Oh also there life jackets that can be borrowed to make sure you're in compliance with life jacket regulations
An easily accessible area to view the OIB Christmas flotilla
Perfect place to put in instead of at the ocean isle bridge!!
It is a beautiful place! Good place to put your boat in, plenty of parking and a safe setup for loading and unloading. It's usually a great place to sit, relax, listen to the water, watch the stars, etc... however it doesn't get 5 stars because a lot of times it is filled with drunks on golf carts or their misbehaved kids. I usually had to pick up trash that everyone would leave because there was no trash can anywhere out there! Well they finally put one down there and that's good, except it is a construction dumpster so it is huge and a eyesore. The place is great it gets stars taken away due to the negligent and inconsiderate actions of people.
Great ramps, easy access and plenty of parking for vehicle and trailers.
