About This Access Site
This small paved two-lane boat ramp on the Lamar Peninsula provides convenient access to Saint Charles Bay near Rockport. Located on the east side of Lamar Beach Road just south of Fourth Street, the ramp is situated within a day-use area and puts paddlers and boaters directly into shallow grass flats, offering good access to all parts of the bay. The location is ideal for those looking to avoid congested boat channels and experience the bay's natural shallow-water environment.

The access site is well-suited for kayakers and canoeists interested in fishing, wildlife viewing, and exploring the bay's extensive flats. The immediate proximity to grass flats makes this a good starting point for shallow-draft paddling. The nearby Aransas National Wildlife Refuge adds significant value for wildlife enthusiasts. While the ramp itself is modest in size, it provides reliable access to one of the Texas coast's productive fishing and birding destinations.
