Some friends have a house rented for this weekend on Don Pedro Island right outside Rotunda.. They want us to bring our boat for the weekend.. I would like to find a public ramp outside Rotunda that I can leave the car and trailer..

Anyone??

Thanks!!
 
I know of three public boat ramps in the area.Indian Mound Park,(Sarasota County)Ainger Creek-Rocky Creek we call it Kevin's(Charlotte County this is just north and the closest) and the Placida Boat Ramp(Charlotte County).These are all Public Ramps.Depending on where you are going on Don Pedro Island and being that it is in season right now, I would put in at Eldridges Marine at the Boca Grande Bridge.The cost is minimal, and you will have less traffic. Its also a nice ride to Don Pedro Island.

I think I spelled Eldridges wrong, but just turn like you are going on the Boca Grande Bridge and its on the right, just before you go on the bridge to Boca Grande

Thanks Tiki Time.. I will check out Eldridges!!




 
Before Eldridge is the public boat ramp on the right. Just redid the ramps very nice. It gets insane busy there so get there early. Not sure if you are staying overnight so check about overnight parking. It is meter parking. Agree it is a nice run to Don Pedro, we were just up in that area yesterday, beautiful green water, great fishing ENJOY !!!!!!!!

in case anyone looks at this later... Yes I am spending the night, so a somewhat private launch is better..
