Ocean City Boat Ramps · Ocean City, Maryland

Can kayakers use boat ramps?

Answer

Small craft sometimes share ramps when etiquette allows—yield to large trailers backing heavy boats and keep to the side. Dedicated kayak launches may be calmer for paddlers; see the ocean-city-kayak-launch category. Never block active trailer lanes with loose kayaks.
