This boat ramp provides access to Assawoman Bay, a shallow coastal water body on Maryland's Eastern Shore near Ocean City. The ramp is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized vessels looking to explore the bay's calm, protected waters. **Note: A pass card must be purchased from the Town of Ocean City to access this ramp, and there is no on-site parking for cars or trailers.** Plan accordingly before arriving, as parking limitations may affect your visit.
Before launching, contact Ocean City's Parks and Recreation Department to confirm current pass card requirements, fees, and any seasonal closures. The bay itself is ideal for recreational paddling and fishing, offering relatively protected conditions compared to open ocean waters, though paddlers should be aware of tidal influences typical of coastal bay systems.
