This improved boat launch and dock facility provides motorized boat access to Nehalem Bay and the Nehalem River, located off Tideland Road between Nehalem and Wheeler.

The ramp requires an annual day-use parking pass ($55 for the first pass) or single-day pass ($10), with amenities including restrooms nearby and easy access for both recreational boaters and anglers.

The site is well-suited for exploring the bay's diverse wildlife, crabbing, and clamming opportunities, though paddlers should be aware of tidal influences and changing wind conditions, particularly in the afternoon.
