What visitors say
Mixed reviewsQuaker Neck Landing is a small public boat ramp with limited parking (approximately 6 spaces) and depth restrictions that make it unsuitable for launching boats larger than 17 feet except at high tide. The landing attracts friendly patrons but experiences traffic and safety concerns near the adjacent residential area. The facility would benefit from additional parking and traffic management measures.
