Magnolia Beach Public Boat Ramp is a heavily used summertime access point featuring a boat ramp with recently constructed showers and restrooms (funded by the Coastal Impact Assistance Program), plus a nearby fishing pier and observation deck for wildlife viewing.

The ramp provides access to Old Town Lake and adjacent marshes for kayaking and bird watching, with a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department-built groin on the north side to reduce shoaling problems.

Parking and beach amenities make it suitable for combined boating and beach day activities.
