The Hay Avenue Boat Ramp, located near the Wharf Road Boat Ramp in Shoalhaven Heads, is a single-lane concrete ramp providing direct access to the Shoalhaven River. Recently refurbished, the ramp offers easy and sheltered launching, with deep water access that makes launching and retrieving straightforward.
On site, there’s a well-designed fish cleaning table with wash-down facilities, along with ample parking nearby. A small memorial park with a bench seat sits beside the ramp, offering a quiet place to pause and enjoy the surroundings. The area is often visited by pelicans, cormorants, and spoonbills, which frequent the nearby waters and mudflats.
While there are no toilet facilities directly at the ramp, public toilets can be found a short distance up the road near the Wharf Road intersection. Shops aren’t within walking distance, but mobile phone reception is available throughout the area.
Overall, it’s a pleasant and well-maintained spot, ideal for launching a boat, spending time fishing, or simply relaxing by the river and watching the sun set over the water.
