Anyone know a place you can legally park and launch a kayak around the oceanic bridge?

I think there is a ramp in Rumson.

Is there enough room back there for a pickup truck, with a little flat bottom boat in the bed, or strictly kayak /small car?
can you get close enough to drag a small flat bottom aluminun 12 footer?

There is a good sized parking lot there.

Looks like you need a permit to use that ramp.

You can carry your yak down the stairs by the parking area before the bridge goes into Rumson or check

$40.00 for a day pass for a boat? Sounds kinda steep. Is it a nice ramp and what size boat can it handle?
