The Apollo Bay Boat Ramp is situated in the picturesque coastal town of Apollo Bay in southwestern Victoria. It features a well-designed double concrete ramp with floating pontoons on both sides and solar lighting to illuminate the area at night. This setup makes it suitable for boats of all sizes, from small vessels to larger ones and everything in between.
From here, you can launch directly into the stunning blue waters of the bay, protected by a solid breakwater for a smoother start to your trip. There’s plenty of space for launching, and the layout makes the process straightforward.
The area offers a spacious car park, though parking can be tight during busy periods due to high visitor activity. Facilities are thoughtfully provided, including a freshwater hose for flushing motors and rinsing boats, as well as fish cleaning tables and public toilets. Two designated disability parking bays are located right in front of a concrete path leading to accessible picnic tables designed for wheelchair use.
Beyond boating, the location is perfect for enjoying the scenery; peaceful walks, picnics by the water, and, at certain times of the year, the chance to spot a seal lounging near the ramp. It’s a picturesque spot for watching boats come and go, soaking in the relaxed pace of Apollo Bay, and appreciating its rich fishing heritage. The nearby seafood co-op is also worth a visit, serving some of the freshest catches around.
A true iconic boating location, Apollo Bay Boat Ramp blends functionality, natural beauty, and local character, which makes it as much a destination for visitors as it is a launch point for boaters.
