About This Access Site
Located in Marathon along Florida Bay, the Royal Hawaiian Motel offers a convenient boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and small boat operators. This modest access point features a no-cost ramp and trailer storage, making it an economical option for launching into the protected waters of Botelly Canal and Florida Bay. The facility also provides dockage directly behind the motel rooms and a fish cleaning table, catering to anglers and boaters alike.

This makes the Royal Hawaiian an attractive option for those combining lodging with boating activities. The quiet, small-scale motel atmosphere and reasonable rates appeal to paddlers seeking a peaceful basecamp for exploring Florida Bay's shallow waters and mangrove areas.
