Lavender'S Landing / Bokeelia Public Boat Ramp

Lavender's Landing offers convenient access to Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, and Matlacha Pass in Lee County, Florida. This public boat ramp is ideal for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail. The launch provides direct access to Jug Creek and the surrounding shallow bays and waterways, making it a good starting point for both day paddles and longer excursions in this scenic coastal area.

The facility operates from 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. with a $10 parking fee. Paddlers should note that conditions are optimal at higher tide levels, as low tide can affect launching. The ramp is near two important wildlife areas—Pine Island National Wildlife Refuge and Island Bay National Wildlife Refuge—offering opportunities to observe shorebirds and explore protected shallow-water environments. Amenities include a ship's store and rental cottages if you're planning an extended visit to the area.
