Sombrero Beach Kayak Launch is a public boat ramp in Monroe County, Florida. It is managed by City of Marathon. It is listed as a hand launch only.

It is a hand-launch only site — there is no trailer ramp, so it suits car-top boats, kayaks, and canoes rather than trailered vessels. There is no dock at this site. The site is government-owned and open for general public use. No launch fee is required. Posted hours are 30 min before sunrise - 30 min after sunset.

This is a boat ramp facility only — come prepared with your own vessel and gear. As with any public ramp, parking, water levels, and conditions at the water's edge can vary, so it's worth checking locally before you go, especially outside daylight hours.
