Description

The map picture is a little off, the ramp is just south of mar vista restaurant, on Lois ave. Quiet, small, concrete boat ramp, with some sandy patches on either side. You can also launch a few steps south, on a sandy beach area. There are only about 3 parking spots, but we’ve been on the weekend and always had a spot. There is a deep water channel in front of the ramp which can get quite busy with boat traffic. Even though it’s idle only, some boaters ignore. Additionally, just north of the ramp are two restaurants, both of which have docks, causing boat traffic to get chaotic during the weekends as boaters circle to find open dockage. A little further north is a large sandbar area at jewfish key and beer can island, big party spots on the weekend/holidays.
