This county boat ramp provides public access to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at Nixon Cross Roads, located directly under the US Highway 17 bridge in North Myrtle Beach. The site includes a launching ramp and paved parking, making it a convenient put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the Intracoastal system in this area.
Boaters should note that the fixed Highway 17 bridge span has a vertical clearance of 65 feet, which accommodates most vessels but may restrict taller sailboats or canoes with raised loads. The Intracoastal Waterway at this location is well-marked, though mariners should be aware that navigation aids transition to green markers on the right when traveling the Waterway. This is an ideal access point for day trips along the relatively calm Intracoastal route, with nearby services available in the North Myrtle Beach area.
