About This Access Site
Located at 10th & Bayview in Lavallette, this municipal ramp provides convenient access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Barnegat Bay. The ramp is an ideal launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the sheltered waters of Barnegat Bay and its connecting waterways. The site is situated at the intersection of Bay Boulevard and Philadelphia Avenue, with dedicated bay-front parking available.

**Access & Fees:** A parking sticker ($50 for a trailer sticker) is required to use the municipal parking lots and boat ramp. Daily launch fees apply ($25 for all vessel types), with weekly ($75) and seasonal ($150) passes available. These fees support maintenance of the facility.

**What to Expect:** This is a developed municipal facility well-suited for paddlers of all skill levels seeking access to the calm, protected waters of Barnegat Bay.
