**Location & Access**
Hoppy's Landing is a popular boat launch site in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, providing access to Nasketucket Bay and Buzzards Bay. The site features both a boat ramp and a small sandy beach, making it suitable for motorboats, kayaks, and canoes. The landing is conveniently located on the east side of Long Island near Goulart Memorial Drive.
**Amenities & Nearby Services**
Earl's Marina is located directly across the street and offers fuel, food, and boat repair services—helpful for day-trippers planning extended outings. The sandy beach access is particularly appealing for kayakers and canoeists looking for a gentler launch than a traditional ramp. From here, paddlers can explore the scenic salt marshes and coastline of nearby West Island and the wider Buzzards Bay area.
**Recreation Opportunities**
This location serves as an excellent gateway for exploring coastal New England waters. The proximity to salt marshes and West Island makes it ideal for nature paddling and wildlife observation, while the ramp accommodates larger recreational boats heading into Buzzards Bay. The area also provides access to nearby scenic attractions like Shipyard Farm's trails overlooking Nasketucket Bay.
