Notice: West Side Floating Dock Closed
For public safety, the west side floating dock at the Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp is closed due to structural damage caused by excess sand migrating into the launch basin, causing the dock to bottom out at low tide. A repair project is scheduled to begin on January 27 and is anticipated to be completed in April. In the meantime, the east side floating dock remains open and accessible. The Port recognizes the impacts on the boating community. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we appreciate continued patience. Learn more here.
Shelter Island - San Diego
The Shelter Island Boat Launching Ramp is a several acre facility located at the northwestern end of San Diego Bay. This ramp provides the closest access to the Pacific Ocean (approximately 3 miles away). Rest rooms and a large parking lot are immediately available. For visiting fishermen, the bait receivers, at Everingham Brothers Bait Barge, where anchovies and sardines can be purchased, are located on the right side of the channel as you exit the harbor. The bait barges are open 24-hours per day.
