Boat Ramp Street

The Boat Ramp Street access site on San Francisco Bay in Richmond, CA provides a public boat launch for kayakers, canoeists, and small powerboats. The site is located along the East Bay shoreline and offers direct access to the expansive San Francisco Bay.

While the site is not reservable, it is staffed by rangers who can provide information and assistance. However, the facility is not ADA accessible. Nearby amenities include public restrooms, though these are reported to be in poor condition. Within 10 miles, there are two reservable campgrounds - Hawk Campground and Kirby Cove Campground - that can accommodate boaters and paddlers looking to explore the bay further.

The site is situated near several other notable recreation areas, including the John Muir National Historic Site and the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. Boaters and paddlers should use caution when launching and be prepared for the conditions of the open San Francisco Bay. Overall, the Boat Ramp Street access provides a convenient entry point for those looking to experience the East Bay's coastal waterways.

The ranger station at the Alcatraz Island Dock is staffed at all times. Staff here can help you with directions, information, Special Ranger and Junior Ranger programs, emergency assistance, and more.
