The ramp is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so there's no set closing time to work around. No fee or permit details are posted for this location, so it's worth calling the ramp at (757) 727-6348 ahead of a visit if that's a concern.

Specific details on the number of launch lanes, docks, or restroom facilities aren't listed, so visitors should expect a straightforward launch point rather than a full-service marina.
Situated in Hampton, the ramp provides direct access to local tidal creeks that connect out toward the wider Chesapeake Bay, offering opportunities for fishing, crabbing, and cruising in a mix of sheltered and open water.
Best suited for: Local boaters and anglers who want flexible, round-the-clock access and don't mind bringing a dog along for the trip.
What visitors say
Mixed reviewsSunset Creek Boat Ramp features a well-maintained single lane in a deep water location with good access to Hampton River and Chesapeake Bay, equipped with piers on both sides and ladders for lower tides. The main drawback is tight maneuvering—the narrow approach road has a sharp 90-degree turn and no turnaround, requiring most trailers to back up approximately 50 yards to reach the ramp. Facilities are minimal (portable bathroom only), parking is limited, but the calm, protected waters make it ideal for novice boaters and smaller vessels.
