Looe Key Reef Resort and Dive Center

Located at Mile Marker 27.5 on Ramrod Key in the Middle Keys, this boat ramp provides access to Newfound Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean in a well-established marine setting. The facility is part of a full-service dive resort that has operated since 1959, offering convenient amenities including a dive shop, restaurant, and Tiki bar just steps from the water. The ramp provides direct access to the Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary and Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary waters, making it ideal for paddlers and boaters exploring the area's coral reefs and marine ecosystems.

Paddlers and boaters should be aware that this is a working commercial dive resort with charter boat operations, so the facility is actively used throughout the day. The location offers excellent access for exploring nearby reef systems and protected marine areas, though users should familiarize themselves with sanctuary regulations and be prepared for typical ocean conditions in the Florida Keys. The National Key Deer Refuge is also nearby, adding to the ecological significance of the area.
