Misinformation circulating within the community states the Cross Island Boat Landing located at 68 Helmsman Way is being closed. That is incorrect information.

Rumors falsely suggest the County is in the process of condemning the boat landing, and this is leading to concerns among residents and boating enthusiasts. The properties that the County is condemning are the adjacent parcels for ferry parking to preserve boat ramp capacity.

As with any County construction project, there are multiple stages of approval, progress and notification to the public. 

We want to assure the public that these claims of a shut down are entirely unfounded. Beaufort County is NOT closing any boat ramps. In fact, we are actively working to enhance and improve the Cross Island Boat Landing to better serve our residents and visitors.
