The Cams Wharf Boat Ramp, located in Cams Wharf on the Swansea Peninsula, features a well-equipped dual-lane concrete ramp that provides access to Lake Macquarie, Australia’s largest coastal saltwater lake.
The site includes both sealed and grassed parking areas that can accommodate vehicles and boat trailers. Additional amenities include a fish cleaning station, lighting, potable water taps (including two on a beach shower pole), and public toilets, all of which enhance the overall user experience.
Adjacent to the boat ramp is Wrightson Park, which offers picnic tables, barbecue facilities, walking trails, and open green spaces, making it an ideal spot for families and groups to relax before or after boating activities. The close proximity of the park to the ramp allows for an easy transition between recreational activities on land and water.
The boat ramp's location provides ample opportunities for various water-based activities such as fishing, sailing, and kayaking. The area is a beautiful and tranquil swimming spot, with shallow waters that gradually deepen to chest height before reaching beds of seaweed. Fishing is fairly decent in this area, and it's a great place to stop with a boat to enjoy lunch or an early dinner ashore.
The Cams Wharf Boat Ramp serves as a fun hub for both boating enthusiasts and those seeking leisure activities by the lake.
