About This Access Site
Located in Panama City Beach, the Dolphin Drive Public Boat Ramp provides convenient access to Grand Lagoon and St. Andrew Bay. This ramp serves as an ideal launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters exploring the coastal waters of the Gulf Coast.

The area is popular with both local boaters and visitors seeking maritime recreation in the Panama City Beach area.

When planning your visit, contact local authorities or check current conditions, as weather and tidal conditions can affect paddling safety in these coastal waters. The ramp's proximity to Panama City Beach makes it accessible for day trips and recreational outings.
