Ventnor Municipal

Ventnor Municipal offers access to the Inside Thorofare section of the Intracoastal Waterway in Ventnor City, making it a convenient launch point for exploring coastal waterways in southern New Jersey. The concrete ramp provides access to protected saltwater paddling, with opportunities to paddle southbound toward Margate or westward into Lakes Bay and toward Pleasantville. Be aware that water depth at this ramp can be limited at low tide, so plan your launch accordingly.

From this location, paddlers can explore the scenic Great Egg Harbor area and access routes near the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, an important habitat area for waterfowl and shorebirds. Note that the nearby Dorset Avenue Bridge has seasonal operating restrictions—from June 1 through September 30, bridge openings are limited starting at 9:15 a.m., which may affect your route planning during peak summer months.
