Winthrop

Located at 707 Shirley Street in Winthrop, this public boat ramp provides convenient access to the Atlantic Ocean and nearby harbor waters. The facility is well-equipped for recreational boaters and paddlers, featuring a maintained ramp, town pier, and additional amenities including a pump-out station and picnic areas. The site is managed by the Winthrop Harbormaster Department, and use requires a small fee paid at an automated kiosk near the harbormaster's office.

This is an excellent launching point for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore coastal waters, with proximity to the Winthrop Ferry Terminal and nearby recreational areas. The harbor offers relatively protected waters compared to open ocean conditions, making it suitable for various skill levels. Services such as transient slip and mooring rentals are available if you need to secure your vessel. The site's location on the Atlantic coast provides access to both harbor paddling and open water adventures, depending on conditions and your experience level.
