About This Access Site
Located at 1500 North County Highway 395 in Point Washington, this boat ramp provides convenient access to Choctawhatchee Bay and Tucker Bayou. The facility features two concrete boat ramps, with the southern ramp being the primary option for motorboats and larger vessels, while the northern ramp experiences shoaling and is better suited for hand-launched kayaks and canoes. The site includes amenities such as parking, docks, and a freshwater boat cleaning station.
This access point is ideal for paddlers and boaters looking to explore the shallow, protected waters of Choctawhatchee Bay. The proximity to Tucker Bayou makes it a good launching point for both casual paddling and fishing trips in the area. Being situated north of Seagrove Beach near Scenic Highway 395, the ramp offers relatively easy access for those exploring the northern Florida Panhandle's coastal waters. Conditions in the bay are generally calm, making this suitable for paddlers of varying experience levels.
