Located on the Gulf side of the Overseas Highway between Mile Markers 53 and 54 in Marathon, this public boat ramp provides access to Florida Bay and the surrounding shallow waters of the Middle Keys. The ramp is situated at 13333 Overseas Highway, making it easily accessible via the Overseas Highway corridor.
This ramp is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and shallow-draft boaters exploring the extensive flats and backcountry waters of Florida Bay. The area offers opportunities for paddling in shallow, protected waters typical of the Keys ecosystem. Boaters should be prepared for the shallow-water conditions common to this region and plan accordingly with appropriate vessel draft. The site serves as a convenient Gulf-side launch point for those exploring the numerous keys, mangrove passages, and shallow-water routes throughout Florida Bay.
