Nokomis Beach Public Boat Ramp provides public access to Blackburn Bay and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in Sarasota County. Located at 100 Casey Key Road on Casey Key, this ramp is conveniently situated just north of the Albee Road Bridge and approximately 3/4 mile from the Venice Jetty, making it an excellent launching point for paddlers and boaters heading toward the Gulf of Mexico or exploring the protected intracoastal waters.
The ramp offers a sheltered boat harbor entrance from the north, providing protection from main channel conditions—a key advantage for kayakers and canoeists launching smaller vessels. The facility is easily accessible by vehicle, positioned just one mile west of US Highway 41, making it ideal for day trips and quick water access.
