About This Access Site
The Pier Street boat ramp in Fairhope offers convenient access to Mobile Bay with two launching lanes and non-floating courtesy docks, making it a reliable choice for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats. Located just south of the historic Fairhope Pier at 1 Pier Avenue, this access point provides six trailer parking spaces and is situated in the heart of Fairhope's waterfront area.

From this launch, paddlers can explore the northern Mobile Bay estuary, including access to the nearby Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, which encompasses over 6,000 acres of tidal and forested wetlands. This area offers excellent paddling opportunities through shallow bays and marsh systems, making it ideal for kayaking and canoeing. The protected waters and scenic surroundings make Pier Street a popular starting point for exploring Baldwin County's rich estuarine environment.
