The North Shore Beach and Yacht Club boat ramp provides access to the expansive Salton Sea, located in San Diego County, California. Although the yacht club itself is no longer operational, the public boat ramp remains available for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.
The Salton Sea is a unique and ecologically important inland saltwater lake, measuring approximately 15 miles wide and 35 miles long. Paddlers and boaters should be aware of the sea's high salinity and fluctuating water levels, which can create challenging conditions. Strong winds are also common on the Salton Sea, so monitoring weather forecasts is recommended before venturing out.
The boat ramp itself is located directly on the north shore of the Salton Sea. Facilities are limited, with no amenities or services provided on-site. Boaters are advised to come prepared with all necessary equipment, supplies, and safety gear. While the ramp is open to the public, users should check for any operational changes or restrictions before their visit.
