Beacon 42 Boat Ramp is a double motorboat ramp with a small dock located on the western shore of Mosquito Lagoon within Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, accessible via a long dirt road off Kennedy Parkway north of Haulover Canal.

The facility features a large dirt parking lot accommodating two dozen vehicles with trailers, a separate hand-paddled watercraft launch for kayaks and canoes, and allows 24-hour fishing access.

A daily use fee ($10 at time of writing) is required and can be purchased online through Recreation. gov, at the Visitor Center, or at the self-pay kiosk at the ramp (cash or check only, no change available).
