Tucked beside Cooke Park and accessible via Jupiter Street, the Gerringong Boat Ramp is a quiet coastal spot that offers direct access to the ocean from the Boat Harbour Reserve. It’s a bit of a hidden gem for those looking to enjoy a calm day out on the water.
The ramp features two concrete lanes and is best suited for small to medium-sized fishing boats. Its location, sheltered between rocky headlands and protected by the southern point and nearby reefs, helps soften the impact of the waves, though occasional surges can still occur at the ramp.
Facilities here are practical, with fish cleaning stations on site and ample parking, including spots for trailers. Nearby Cooke Park is equipped with public toilets, shaded picnic areas, BBQs, and dog-friendly walking and cycling paths—ideal for visitors planning to spend the day.
The area also features a 120-metre stretch of sand and cobble beach facing east. At low tide, rock pools reveal crabs, small fish, and colourful shells, offering a bit of nature discovery for younger visitors or those exploring the shoreline. At high tide, visitors can snorkel or swim in it, with interesting tidal wash that makes the area more picturesque.
With its peaceful coastal setting, scenic views, and well-maintained facilities, Gerringong Boat Ramp is a great option for boaters, anglers, families, and nature lovers looking to enjoy a relaxed day by the sea.
