About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
Cranberry Inlet Marina is located at 421 Bayside Terrace in Seaside Heights and provides concrete ramp access to Barnegat Bay. The ramp maintains adequate water depth even at low tide, making it a reliable launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The marina is positioned on the south side of the Mantoloking Bridge, directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, and can accommodate boats with drafts up to 6 feet. For specific information about amenities, parking, or current conditions, contact the marina at 732-793-4434.

**Paddling Opportunities**
From this access point, paddlers have convenient entry to Barnegat Bay's expansive waters and can easily reach nearby channels including Oyster Creek and Double Creek. The location also provides relatively quick access to Barnegat Inlet for those seeking open water experiences. The concrete ramp is suitable for most craft types, though kayakers and canoeists should note that tidal conditions may affect water levels despite the ramp's good low-tide access.
