View Point

View Point (also known as Pelican Point) is a public boat ramp located at the mouth of Weeks Bay in Fairhope, offering convenient access to Mobile Bay and the surrounding estuarine waters. The facility features two launching lanes, non-floating courtesy docks, and ample trailer parking (30+ spaces), making it well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and larger recreational boats. The ramp is easily accessible from US Highway 98, providing straightforward entry and exit for watercraft of various sizes.

This location is ideal for exploring the shallow, protected waters of Mobile Bay's northern reaches and the scenic Weeks Bay area. Paddlers can access the bay's calm waters and explore nearby tidal and forested wetlands, while the proximity to Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge and Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve offers excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and nature-based paddling. The estuarine environment supports diverse bird species and coastal habitat, making it a popular destination for both recreational boating and wildlife observation.
