The ramp features a wood surface suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorized vessels. A parking area is available for vehicle and trailer storage.

**Access & Fees:** The ramp operates on a daily-use fee system ($25 per day for all vessels), with weekly ($75) and seasonal ($150) passes available for frequent users. Commercial passes are also offered. For current hours of operation and any updates to fees or services, contact the Borough of Barnegat Light at 609-494-2343.

**Paddling Context:** This access point opens to Barnegat Bay, a shallow estuary known for calm to moderate water conditions, making it suitable for kayakers and canoeists of varying skill levels. The bay offers scenic paddling opportunities with proximity to Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, though paddlers should be aware of tidal influences and local weather patterns typical of coastal New Jersey waters.
