Ocean Boulevard Causway / Ernest Lyons Bridge

This Martin County boat ramp provides convenient access to the Indian River Lagoon, a large coastal estuary system. The 1.4-acre facility features a 4-lane boat ramp and fishing catwalk, making it suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and larger motorboats. The Indian River Lagoon offers calm, protected waters ideal for paddlers of various skill levels, with opportunities to explore the expansive shallow lagoon system.

The launch is well-positioned for accessing the Indian River and connecting waterways. Nearby paddlers can explore areas around Nathaniel P. Reed Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, which protects significant coastal habitat and undeveloped shoreline. This access point works well as a base for day trips or longer paddles through the lagoon system, offering straightforward launch conditions for recreational boating and paddling.
