If there is one thing lacking in Baldwin County, boaters will tell you it is access to a boat launch. Now, they are one step closer to getting a new boat ramp.

The Launch at ICW in Orange Beach will be the largest boat launch in Coastal Alabama. The 17 million dollar project is well underway and ahead of schedule.

Demolition of the courtesy piers at Baldwin County’s new boat launch got underway Tuesday, May 3, 2022. They will be torn out and moved in order to align them properly with the boat ramps.

A nonprofit is teaming up with local businesses and the U.S. Coast Guard to remove long-abandoned boats from Horry County.
