Coquina South Boat Ramp Reopens for Public Use in Manatee County

The Coquina South Boat Ramp, located at the southern end of Anna Maria Island in Bradenton Beach, Florida, has reopened to the public following temporary closures due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. These storms, which impacted the area in late September and early October 2024, caused significant damage to local infrastructure, including the boat ramp.

In the aftermath of the hurricanes, Manatee County officials initiated extensive recovery and repair efforts to restore the facility. The reopening of the Coquina South Boat Ramp is a significant milestone in the region's recovery, providing residents and visitors with access to the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota Bay, and surrounding waterways. The facility's reopening is expected to support recreational and commercial boating activities, contributing to the local economy and community well-being.
