Little Torch Key Public Boat Ramp

Located on State Road 4A in Little Torch Key, Monroe County, this public boat ramp provides convenient access to Pine Channel in the Florida Keys. The ramp can accommodate vessels of various sizes and is situated approximately 10 minutes from major US-1 corridors, making it accessible for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Paved facilities with concrete abutments support launching operations at moderate to high tide, though parking is limited, so arriving early is recommended, especially during peak season.

The ramp provides direct access to the clear, shallow waters characteristic of the Keys' backcountry. Paddlers will immediately enter the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary upon launching, where marine resource protection regulations apply. Nearby recreational opportunities include exploration of the National Key Deer Refuge and the scenic Pine Channel environs. Be aware of tidal conditions when planning your launch, as water depth and navigation can vary significantly with tide levels.
