Dick Gilmur Shoreline and Kayak Boat Ramp

Located at 5002 Marine View Drive along Inner Commencement Bay, this Port of Tacoma facility features a concrete kayak ramp providing easy public access to the water for paddlers.

The site offers sweeping views of the city skyline and Port activity, and includes a habitat restoration area with an intentional "feeder bluff" that naturally nourishes the shoreline.
