About This Access Site
Avalon Bay Park offers a dedicated boat ramp for accessing Long Reach in Cape May County. The ramp is one of only two public launch facilities in the area (the other being Kayak Park), making it a primary access point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters exploring the local waters. The ramp operates seasonally from the first Saturday in May through the first Sunday after Labor Day, with daily hours from 7am to 3pm. A launch permit is required for all watercraft.

Boaters should note that this is an active public facility with associated fees and permit requirements. Slip rental is available for seasonal mooring, with size restrictions and rental fees set by borough resolution. Given its location adjacent to Cape May National Wildlife Refuge, this access point is ideal for paddlers interested in exploring habitat rich in migratory birds and other wildlife. Check current conditions before visiting, as the facility may undergo seasonal maintenance or construction that could affect access.
