Beach Access Ramp 2, located on the southern end of the Coquina Beach parking area, provides pedestrian access to the Atlantic Ocean beaches near the Coquina Beach Day Use Area. Two outdoor exhibits, "Know Before You Go" and "Islands on the Move," explore the topics of ocean swimming safety and barrier island migration.

Parking is available to the north of the pedestrian access.
