The East Beach Paddlecraft Boat Ramp at Fort De Soto Park features a paved ramp with floating docks, 300 parking spaces, and handicap accessibility, making it ideal for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats.

Currently, only one floating dock is operational due to hurricane damage, with new storm-resistant docks under construction (estimated completion Summer 2026).

A $6 park entrance fee plus boat ramp fee applies; the facility is open 24 hours and includes restrooms and picnic areas nearby.
