What visitors say
Mixed reviewsJones Creek Landing is a well-maintained facility with handicapped accessible restrooms and a fishing pier, offering free access to anglers pursuing spot, croaker, white perch, flounder, and rockfish. The dock is clean and the area is peaceful, though the ramp widths are somewhat narrow and some pier boards are missing, creating safety concerns that need attention.
