About This Access Site
**Access Overview**
Presnell's Marina in Port St. Joe provides boat ramp access to St. Joseph Bay, a shallow, protected estuary ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and recreational boating. The ramp is well-maintained and suitable for launching small craft. **Note: Ramp access is restricted to marina guests and residents only** – day-use public access is not available.

**Facilities & Services**
The marina offers in-water dockage, trailer storage, and a marina store on-site. For paddlers, Presnell's also rents kayaks and paddleboards if you don't have your own equipment. The facility is part of an RV resort, so amenities like a pool and laundry are available. St. Joseph Bay itself is known for excellent scalloping and fishing opportunities and provides calm, scenic paddling conditions.

**Planning Your Visit**
If you're not staying at the RV resort, contact Presnell's directly to inquire about day-use access or alternative public launch options in the Port St. Joe area. Those with accommodations at the resort will find convenient access to one of Florida's premier paddling and fishing destinations.
