Quatat Marine Park

Quatat Marine Park in Seaside offers a trailer-style boat ramp providing convenient access to the Necanicum River. Located next to the Seaside Convention Center, this is one of two primary public boating access sites in the area (along with Cartwright Park). The ramp provides a straightforward launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore the lower Necanicum River and its tidal estuary waters.

Paddlers should note that the ramp is sometimes locked, so it's worth confirming availability before planning your trip. This is a good access point for anglers as well, since the Necanicum is open to fishing throughout the season. If the main ramp is unavailable, walk-in access alternatives exist at nearby sites, though vehicle trailer access may be limited seasonally at some locations. The park's proximity to town makes it an accessible option for day trips on the river.
