**Location & Access:** The Atlantic Highlands Municipal Boat Ramp is located at 2 Simon Lake Drive in Atlantic Highlands, Monmouth County, providing public year-round access to Sandy Hook Bay. Follow signs for "Municipal Harbor Launching Ramp" via Sutton Walk. The facility includes a concrete ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and larger boats.
