About This Access Site
The Jo-Jean Way Boat Ramp provides public access to Tavernier Harbor and Florida Bay in the Florida Keys. Located off the Overseas Highway in Tavernier, this single-ramp facility offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boat operators exploring the shallow waters and mangrove shorelines characteristic of this region. The ramp is free to use and operates during daylight hours.
This is a basic access point with minimal amenities—there are no restrooms or designated parking spaces available. Paddlers should plan accordingly and arrive early, especially during peak seasons, as parking is limited in the immediate area. The calm, shallow waters of Florida Bay are ideal for kayaking and canoeing, making this ramp a good choice for exploring the Keys' unique marine ecosystem, though boaters should be prepared for tidal conditions and variable water depths typical of bay environments.
