Bayview Park Public Boat Ramp (Naples)

Located at the end of Danford Street in Naples, Bayview Park offers convenient access to Naples Bay and the surrounding waterways. This 4-acre facility features two launching lanes, hand-launch areas ideal for kayaks and canoes, courtesy docks, and 20 paved parking spaces for boat trailers. The park also includes picnic areas, a pavilion, playground, and restrooms, making it a full-service access point for a day on the water.

From Bayview Park, paddlers and boaters can explore Naples Bay, the Gordon River, and access to the Gulf of Mexico. The nearby Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve offers excellent opportunities for kayaking through pristine mangrove waterways and bird-watching, while Keewaydin Island and Port Royal are just minutes away. Be aware that this ramp is popular and can get very busy on weekends—arriving early is recommended to secure parking and launch space.
