The Fish Harbor boat ramp provides easy water access to the Port of Los Angeles, a major commercial and industrial port. This public launch site is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small recreational boats looking to explore the protected harbor waters.
The boat ramp is located at the intersection of Tuna and Wharf Streets on Terminal Island, near the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge. The ramp is open and available for public use, with trailer parking, a boat wash station, and restrooms on-site. Paddlers should be aware of the port's heavy maritime traffic and commercial activity, and exercise caution when launching and navigating the harbor.
For those interested in fishing, the Port of Los Angeles is home to a variety of species including sand bass, calicos, halibut, sculpin, and rockfish. The harbor's diverse underwater habitats, from rocky reefs to eelgrass beds, offer excellent angling opportunities for experienced anglers. Boaters and kayakers are advised to consult local resources like the Port of Los Angeles Mariners Guide for up-to-date information on navigational hazards, tide tables, and regulations.
