Perdido Bay Boat Ramp Sky View 

PERDIDO KEY, Fla. -- The new Perdido Bay Boat Ramp is now open for use.
Escambia County officials held a ribbon cutting Tuesday morning for the boat ramp located at 10808 Lillian Highway.
The boat ramp is Escambia County's first large public access to Perdido Bay.
The new 40-acre facility is located on Heron Bayou and includes:
• Two-lane boat ramp
• 62 parking spaces for vehicles with trailers
• 22 parking spaces for vehicles without trailers
• Stormwater treatment facility
In addition, a new channel measuring 2,260 feet long by 40 feet wide and a depth of 5 feet has been dredged from the launching facility to Perdido Bay. Additional passive recreational opportunities include a landing area along the Perdido paddling trail with two campsites and 11 acres of wetlands placed into conservation.
In 2013, the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners funded the acquisition of the Perdido Boat Ramp property for $1.24 million through Local Option Sales Tax III. Project design was paid for through a grant from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Vessel Registration Fees.
