About This Access Site
Located at the end of Highway 180 in Gulf Shores, the Fort Morgan boat ramp provides direct access to Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The concrete ramp is situated within Fort Morgan Historical Park, positioned on the right side just past the ferry landing. This is a developed public access point with nearby parking for vehicles with trailers, making it suitable for boaters of various experience levels launching into open water.

Paddlers and boaters using this ramp should be prepared for Gulf conditions—this is saltwater access rather than a sheltered bay launch. The proximity to Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge offers opportunities for exploring protected wildlife habitat in the area. A usage fee is required, and visitors should plan accordingly. From Highway 59 in Gulf Shores, simply turn west on Highway 180 and follow it to its end to reach the facility.
