Set on Biscayne Bay, Black Point Park - Boat Ramp offers Miami-Dade County boaters a straightforward saltwater launch with a short run to productive water. It's a practical, no-drama ramp that does exactly what a good launch should. With 10 launch lanes, it can handle a busy weekend crowd without the usual bottleneck. As of the last FWC inventory update, a launch fee applies here.

What to know before you launch
- Rinse your trailer and engine with fresh water after launching in salt — corrosion is the enemy on Florida's coast.
- Even with multiple lanes, prep in the staging area first so you're not tying up a lane while loading gear.
- Always check current tides, wind, and marine forecasts before you launch — Florida afternoons can turn stormy fast.
