Longboat Key Bayfront Park Recreation Center - Kayak Launch is a public boat ramp in Sarasota County, Florida. It is managed by Town of Longboat Key. It is listed as a hand launch only.

It is a hand-launch only site — there is no trailer ramp, so it suits car-top boats, kayaks, and canoes rather than trailered vessels. A floating dock is available to help with boarding and loading.

This is a boat ramp facility only — come prepared with your own vessel and gear. As with any public ramp, parking, water levels, and conditions at the water's edge can vary, so it's worth checking locally before you go, especially outside daylight hours.
