Ocean Drive on Nummy Island
Stone Harbor, NJ 08247, Cape May County
Land owner: State
GPS Coordinates: L 39o 02.390' N Lo 74o 46.930' W
Water: Salt
Water type: Bay
Launch area is: Beach
Launch area surface is: Sand, Mud
Facilities: No facilities at this site
Launching considerations / restrictions:
Low tide will not affect launch but will dramatically affect paddling the back channels in the salt marsh bays --- so tide tables should be checked during planning.
Parking situation:
After unloading on the beach, drive up dirt road to park free along Ocean Drive.
Comments:
CAUTION: Jetski & power boat traffic heavy during summer season in Great Channel, but can be avoided by paddling back channels on quiet side of the marsh islands. GREAT bird watching from osprey nests to thousands of gulls, terns, skimmers, etc. Ring Island, just north of Nummy launch, is a wonderful place for birds and peace.
