Southside boat ramps
Mashpee Ramps
Barnstable S.Side Ramps
Yarmouth/Dennis S.Side Ramps
Harwich / Chatham S.Side Ramps

Many of the ramps along the S. side are sticker/resident only ramps there are some however that are still open to the public, although there is a parking/use fee for some of them. I will start off with the Ramp in Woods Hole- ( I used the 16 Albatross St. Woods Hole  for the address in the link) This ramp is the closest to fish lower Buzzards and Vineyards.  Parking is a chronic problem, parking is only available on the street on the left, if you had passed the ramp, along the harborside, however you cannot launch before 5 am and there isn't always a spot available. Be careful on this ramp as there is a large piece of corrugated metal left from the coffer dam built during ramp reconstruction years ago, it eats propellers.

Directions: From Rte. 28 take Woods Hole Rd., about 4 miles to Woods Hole, continue on this Rd. right through Downtown Woods Hole. Once you go over the drawbridge , shortly after the road will just end and you are forced to turn right, the ramp is just ahead on the left hand side.

Next up is the ramp at Falmouth Harbor. This is a newer ramp and parking here isn't typically a problem except during weekends in the summer, especially during striper season (comm'l).

Directions:Take Main Street (Route 28) At the 7-Eleven turn onto Scranton Avenue, until you pass the Windfall Market/West Marine on your right. Take a left into the next paved parking lot. Ramp is located on the other side of the Harbormaster garage with parking available in the upper level of the parking lot. No overnight parking allowed.

The Next ramp is the ramp at Green Pond, again like the Woods Hole Ramp there is no parking overnight before 5 AM

Directions:  From Bourne Bridge  From The Sagamore Bridge

Heading east we find the ramp at the Childs River This is not the best of ramps, but is convenient to Rte. 28, the parking
area in fact is right on 28.  There is a boatyard diectly adjacent to the ramp, Edwards Boatyard.
The downside of this ramp is that it isn't good at lower tides and the ride to open water is considerably longer than the ramps in Green Pond or Falmouth Harbor, but if you are looking to fish the Waquoit Bay area, this ramp is one of only two options you have.
