Alva Boat Ramp offers public water access to the Caloosahatchee River with 15 parking spots ($5 daily fee), a boat ramp, pier/dock, and restrooms in a recently renovated facility.

The ramp is located in an idle speed zone near Broadway Street Bridge, making it ideal for kayaking and paddling to nearby creeks like Bedman Creek and Cypress Creek, though powerboat traffic increases on weekends.

A saltwater fishing license is required for Florida residents fishing from shore.
