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.
