Ramp is straight after the clubhouse, can't miss it. Be careful & prepared. It is not your usual boatramp, and some local knowledge, gear and technique is required.

Appreciate the pointers kiro I've never launched a boat there - but I have caught many dive boats from the beach and watched the punters while I waited. The ramp can be exposed to ocean swell, depending on the conditions. I've seen boats pounded into the ramp with the winy conditions and/or swell. I have also seen locals use the beach as the retrieve point. Even for decent size boats. Basically use a 4WD and a tow rope to drag the boat up the beach out of harms way,, and then back the trailer down, disconnect and winch the trailer under the boat, hook up and off you go. Local knowledge & technique. The ramp is very exposed, so what you go out in will be likely different to what you come home to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hottyscotty Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 probably next closest is little manly, but you'll need to be early as not many spots to park car and trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
