Alva Boat Ramp: $5 Parking, 15 Spaces and Dawn to Dusk Hours

By Eric Vincent · October 6, 2026

Alva Boat Ramp has 15 parking spots and charges $5 per day. The county says: “This is a Public boat ramp with 15 parking spots. The parking fee is $5 per day.” Hours are listed as “Dawn to Dusk” (Lee County Parks & Recreation, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). The address is 21580 Pearl St., Alva, FL 33920.

Capacity

Fifteen spots is small. The page does not say how many are trailer spaces, so on a busy weekend arrive early. The page does not state how many ramp lanes there are.

Fee and pass

The county parking page lists the ramp at “$5 per day,” Monday to Sunday. The ramp page says the Lee County Annual Parking Pass is valid here (Lee County, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). See our Lee County ramp and parking fees page for every ramp side by side.

What the page lists

Amenities include Boat Ramp, Fishing, Paddlecraft Landing/Launch, Pier/Dock, Restrooms and on-leash dog walking. The page does not name the water body the ramp opens onto, so check a map before you plan a trip.

Who owns it

The county says the property and ramp are “owned by Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission (now a part of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) and operated/maintained by Lee County Parks & Recreation since official agreement in 1967.”

License

The page says “A Saltwater Fishing License is required for Florida residents who saltwater fish from shore. Some exclusions apply.” The page does not list the exclusions. Our license guide covers the options.
