About This Access Site
Located at 531 Dyer Prince Road in Eastham, this boat ramp provides convenient access to Rock Harbor Creek and Cape Cod Bay. The site features a single paved launch ramp with parking for up to 55 trailers, making it well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The ramp maintains usable depths at most tidal stages, offering an advantage over the Orleans ramp on the opposite side of Rock Harbor. Note that there are no fuel or provisions available at this location.

In addition to the main ramp, Dyer Prince Beach offers scenic trails through seagrass-lined paths with excellent views of the bay and surrounding landscape. Paddlers launching here gain access to the waters of Rock Harbor Creek and Cape Cod Bay, with proximity to the Cape Cod National Seashore and Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge for exploration. Plan accordingly for tides and weather conditions when paddling in this coastal environment. For more information, contact the Eastham Parks Department or check local tide schedules before your visit.
