About This Access Site
Sarasota Centennial Park offers excellent access to Sarasota Bay with substantial infrastructure for paddlers and boaters. The 10-acre facility features three double-lane boat ramps, courtesy docks, and hand-launching areas ideal for kayaks and canoes. Approximately 70 paved parking spaces accommodate both vehicles and boat trailers, making it a convenient departure point for exploring Sarasota Bay and accessing the Gulf of Mexico through nearby New Pass.
The park provides full amenities including restroom facilities and picnic areas, with leashed pets permitted on-site. Located at 1059 N. Tamiami Trail in downtown Sarasota, Centennial Park is a City of Sarasota facility that serves as a popular launching pad for both recreational and serious paddlers. The bay-side location and multiple ramp lanes make it well-suited for busy weekends, though paddlers should be prepared for the typical conditions of open bay water.
