**Location & Access:**
The Sea Isle Municipal Boat Ramp is located at 42nd Place and the Bay in Sea Isle City, Cape May County. This concrete ramp provides access to the Ludlam Thorofare, a scenic tributary off the Intracoastal Waterway. The ramp maintains adequate water depth even at low tide, making it reliable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats throughout the tidal cycle.
**Paddling & Navigation:**
From the ramp, paddlers can explore the Ludlam Thorofare and connect to the broader Intracoastal Waterway system. Navigation aids include flashing green daybeacons marking the channel entrance (pick up green 367 at NJICW Mile 95, then follow green 365 at the Thorofare mouth near Gull Island). This area offers access to the nearby Great Egg Harbor River and Cape May National Wildlife Refuge, both excellent for wildlife viewing and paddling exploration.
**Facilities & Fees:**
A day-use boat ramp pass costs $15, with seasonal passes available for $125. The municipal marina area includes amenities such as a tackle shop and waterfront dining at the Bay Breeze Café, providing convenient support for a full day on the water.
