A boat ramp for launching motorboats, canoes, kayaks, and other hand-paddled watercraft is located at the end of Boat Launch Road in the Davis Bayou unit of Gulf Islands National Seashore. The boat ramp is free to use year-round from 6 AM to sunset. This is a new ramp completed in November 2019. It replaced the original ramp that was built before Gulf Islands National Seashore was even established in 1971.

There are two ramps, three 6′ x 50′ piers, and a large parking area for vehicles and trailers. Restrooms and Picnic Pavilion 5 are located on the hill above the ramp area.
