Johns Bayou Marina

Johns Bayou Marina in Vancleave offers a concrete boat launch with convenient access to Johns Bayou in Jackson County. Located at 10800 Johns Bayou Circle, the facility features a dedicated boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized vessels. The marina includes covered slip rentals and moorings for those needing longer-term vessel storage or services.

The launch provides excellent access to the productive estuarine ecosystem of Johns Bayou, which connects to the Grand Bay area—one of the most biologically diverse coastal environments in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Paddlers can explore marshes, freshwater streams, and tidal waters while enjoying opportunities for wildlife viewing. The nearby Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge and Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve offer excellent destinations for day trips, making this an ideal starting point for kayakers and canoeists interested in exploring coastal habitats.
