Port Royal Boat Ramp

Port Royal Landing is a public boat ramp providing access to Port Royal Sound in Beaufort County, South Carolina. Located at the southern tip of Port Royal, this facility offers convenient launching for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats into the sound and its connected river systems. The ramp's proximity to both the Chechessee River and Broad River makes it a good starting point for exploring the area's tidal waterways.

The landing is situated in a historically and ecologically rich region, near Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge and Reconstruction Era National Historical Park. Paddlers should be prepared for tidal conditions typical of coastal South Carolina sounds. Before launching, check local tide tables and weather conditions, as Port Royal Sound is subject to significant tidal flows. The area offers opportunities for both day trips and longer expeditions into the surrounding river systems and marshlands.
