Small public kayak launch on a sweeping bend of the Neuse River offering broad water reflections, marsh grasses, and passing boats—great for sunrise/sunset color, long reflections at high tide, and intimate paddler action shots. Easy roadside parking at Gull Pointe; accessible launch ramp. Best visited at golden hour or blue hour; weekday mornings are quieter. Expect mosquitoes in warm months and changeable tidal light. Close to historic New Bern for combined shoots.
