Cove Harbor South

Cove Harbor South is a smaller, lighter-used boat ramp located on the western edge of Cove Harbor in Rockport, offering convenient access to Aransas Bay and surrounding waters. As part of the Cove Harbor complex managed by the Aransas County Navigation District, this ramp provides an excellent alternative to the busier North ramp while still delivering quick access to popular paddling and fishing areas including Estes Flats and Redfish Bay. The location is situated along Business Highway 35 South, making it easily accessible from central Rockport.

Paddlers and boaters will find this a good choice for launching kayaks and canoes into Aransas Bay's protected estuarine waters. The nearby Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve offers excellent opportunities for exploring diverse wetland and marine environments. If you need additional facilities, the full Cove Harbor Marina complex nearby provides fueling, restrooms, and a cleaning sink, though Cove Harbor South itself is better suited for those seeking a quieter launch experience with less congestion than the main ramp.
