Yes, in the marina, There is a fixed height pier on the left if you were looking at the water which was awkward to use at some tides and then a small bridge across to the floating marina pier but while we were up there last summer they were apparently getting close to putting in a floating pier against the boat ramp on the right ( if facing the water ). Wondering if they ever did install that?

The only available ramp is in the marina. It's not too bad, but there are a few issues...

1. The commercial oyster guys will block it up for hours on end, which aside from being a royal pain in a$$, is not allowed, as it is a public ramp and against the consent rules that FNHL were allowed to build the marina under.

2. If you have a largish boat, at low tide the back of your boat will be on the other side of the security gate, which is a real nightmare at times. The person who came up with this ingenious piece of design wants shooting.


There is nothing on the RHS, as yet.
