Located at the end of Restella Avenue in the coastal Central Coast town of Davistown, the Davistown Boat Ramp provides access to the calm waters of Brisbane Water via a single-lane concrete ramp.
The area is popular with both boaters and kayakers, although the wharf setup isn’t the most convenient for kayak launching. Parking can also be a challenge, particularly during weekends, public holidays, and peak periods, so arriving early is highly recommended. Spaces are limited, and nearby restaurants often add to the congestion around the car park.
Boaters should also keep in mind that the ramp can become quite shallow at low tide, making launching and retrieval more difficult at certain times of the day. Some locals suggest the nearby Lantern Street boat ramp as a more reliable option across all tide conditions.
Despite the parking limitations, the waterfront setting remains a standout feature. There’s a pleasant grassy area with benches overlooking the water, making it a relaxing place to spend the day. For kayakers, it’s a great launching spot with nearby cafés perfect for winding down after time on the water. There is also a public toilet block near the ramp as well.
The location is well regarded for its peaceful atmosphere, scenic outlook, and laid-back charm.
Whether you’re heading out for a paddle, enjoying a waterfront walk, or simply looking for a quiet place to sit and take in the views, Davistown offers a calm and welcoming escape along the water.
