As construction continues at one of Collier County’s most popular boat ramps, here are five things to know about the Collier Boulevard Boating Park and Caxambas Park, where damage by Hurricane Ian superseded the start of work at the Collier ramp.
1. Boat park major renovations first in 16 years
In August 2009, Collier County began a project to expand parking at the Collier Boulevard Boating Park, also known as the 951 boat ramp. Parking spaces were increased to 88 from 10, including 83 for boat trailers.The park, on SR/CR 951 just north of Marco Island’s S.S. Jolley Bridge and east across 951 from Isles of Capri, was reopened in February 2010.
