About This Access Site
Gum Point Landing is a public boat ramp located in Ocean Pines on Gum Point Road (0.6 miles off Route 589) providing convenient access to Turville Creek and Isle of Wight Bay.

The ramp is ideal for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the calm waters of Turville Creek and access to the broader Isle of Wight Bay system. The site has been tested and recommended by the Assateague Coastal Trust as a reliable public access point.
