About This Access Site
The FM 1140 boat ramp provides access to Cayo Del Grullo, the middle and second-largest of three fingers extending from Baffin Bay near Riviera Beach in Kleberg County. This saltwater access point is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore shallow coastal waters. The area is known for good fishing opportunities, particularly for trout, redfish, and black drum throughout most of the year.
**Navigation Tips:** Cayo Del Grullo is generally navigable with a GPS unit on hand. Use marked channels at full throttle and slow down significantly when approaching shorelines or rocky areas. While rocks are present in some sections, paddlers and boaters report that staying in main channels and exercising caution near shallow areas helps avoid hazards. This is consistent with typical Baffin Bay conditions, so be prepared with a GPS and local knowledge before heading out, especially if new to the area.
