About This Access Site
Sea Bird Marina in Layton offers a well-maintained public boat ramp with dedicated trailer parking, providing convenient access to Florida Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The facility accommodates vessels of all sizes, from small kayaks and canoes to larger motorboats up to 35 feet. The marina's location near the Channel 5 bridge is particularly valuable, as this is one of the few bridges in the Keys that allows sailboats and larger vessels easy passage between Florida Bay and the Atlantic.
Kayakers and canoeists will appreciate the straightforward launch setup and on-site amenities. The ramp provides quick access to the shallow flats and open waters of Florida Bay, making it an ideal starting point for paddling, fishing, or cruising. Friendly staff are available to assist with launching and parking. For those without their own vessel, Sea Bird Marina also offers boat rentals ranging from 19 to 23 feet, perfect for exploring local waters, reef areas, and the expansive flats.
