Kayak/Canoe Launch

The Kayak/Canoe Launch in Alfonso, Virginia, is a small hand-launch access point along the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, located near the community of Alfonso in Northumberland County.

No hours are posted for this launch, and there's no indication of a permit or fee requirement, so it appears to operate as an open-access point for paddlers.

This is a hand-carry launch built for kayaks and canoes rather than trailered boats, so there's no boat ramp lane or trailer parking to speak of. Facility details beyond the launch itself aren't documented, so visitors should plan to be self-sufficient with gear and vehicle parking. GPS coordinates are 37.7825149°, -76.6032934°.

The surrounding waters sit along Virginia's Northern Neck, an area known for quiet tidal creeks, marshland, and easy access to the wider Chesapeake Bay. Paddlers can expect calm, protected water near the launch before it opens into larger bay waters, making it a good spot for exploring local wildlife and shoreline scenery.

Best suited for: Kayakers and canoeists looking for a low-key, no-frills put-in point away from crowded motorized-boat ramps.
