About This Access Site
Lagoon Park in Gulf Shores offers a convenient access point to the Gulf of Mexico via two concrete boat ramps. Located at 18068 Fort Morgan Road (approximately 2 miles west of Highway 59 on Fort Morgan Road), the facility provides dedicated parking for vehicles and boat trailers, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The park also features restroom facilities, which are particularly useful for longer paddling excursions.

This access point provides entry to the shallow, protected waters of Little Lagoon and connections to the broader Gulf of Mexico. The location near the Lee Callaway Bridge and adjacent to Fort Morgan Historical Park makes it a logical staging area for exploring the coastal waters and nearby ecosystems. Paddlers should note that this is an open Gulf access point, so conditions can vary significantly with tides, wind, and weather—plan accordingly for exposed water conditions.

The nearby Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge and Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve offer excellent paddling destinations for those seeking protected estuarine waters and wildlife viewing opportunities in the greater Mobile Bay area.
