Alligator Bay access

Post by Rhodes »

Is there any where to launch and park in Alligator Bay at low tide? I was there back in March and the only ramp that I could have launched at during low tide was the ramp out on the cape before you get to the Marina but there was no where to park???

Leonards landing on 98. Almost directly across the bay from the marina.
Don't know how deep your boat drafts, or how big a ramp you need, but you can get emPloyment to moderate boats in there.

There is an "improved" (sand) ramp off of Mariners Circle drive. It you have a large vessel, you might have difficulty because there is a deep "blow-hole" that your trailer will fall into. It happened to me when I was trying to get the boat back on the trailer, the trailer got stuck in the hole, and I didn't have a 4X4 to pull it out. To get there, take the Alligator point turn off 98 and look for "Mariners Circle, on the right side of the road, you'll find the ramp. It's kind of spooky, but well worth the chance. Just remember to put in on "High Tide" and trailer it out on "high tide", and please park your trailer away from the ramp. Lots of folks use that ramp, and all it takes is one poorly parked trailer to mess it up ramp access for everyone. :thumbup:
