Catchin Jack Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It's a beach ramp, 4wd only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It's a beach ramp, 4wd only. Council lists it as a one lane concrete ramp. Wyong Council Boat Ramps The image from Google Earth shows concrete at the top covered by sand for the rest of the way and a ute launching a jetski.

Catchin Jack Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 No worries Noodles, you go take your 2wd there and launch away but don't expect anyone to help you when you're stuck. I think I know the ramp well enough, I live pretty close to it mate and it is for 4wd, you will be driving on sand and launching/retrieving on sand. Try using STREET VIEW on Google maps and have a better look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreamChaser Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Cheers Leo Whilst i have 4wd i might give the beach lauch a miss as not very experienced on the sand. Is there anywhere near buy with a better ramp where i can still get to Towoon Bay to fish? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply posting information freely available online and relevent to the original post. This ramp was the subject of another online discussion not long ago relating to close access to Tuggerah Reef / The Entrance Bombie. The ute on the beach in the image may well be a 4X4 and probably is. As you can see he's not even over the concrete. I don't know how far down the concrete goes or how deep the sand is over it. I have been there to see people launch using 4x4 but I have also seen 2wd vehicles with empty trailers in the carpark. I don't recommend anybody try it without making their own assessment of the area first and of course launching a 12ft tinny is not the same as launching a 20ft fibreglass. I don't own a 2wd vehicle and my daughters Starlet isn't fitted with a towbar. By the way we used to beach launch at Arrowarra and Patonga in the Holden station wagon.
