The Kalbarri boat ramp is a super handy spot for launching your boat or kayak, tucked near the mouth of the Murchison River. It's right by the Kalbarri Maritime Facility and the Sea Search and Rescue, making it easy to find and well-equipped. Set on the southern side of the river, the ramp’s location offers a bit of shelter from the elements, which makes getting in and out of the water smoother, although you’ll want to keep an eye out for a bit of surge now and then.

The ramp itself has dual concrete lanes with a nice, gentle slope, making it beginner-friendly whether you're backing in a boat or sliding in a kayak. There's also a jetty right next to the ramp, perfect for tying up while you load or unload gear or passengers.

Parking’s not an issue here either; there’s plenty of room for cars with trailers, and even caravans can find a spot. It can get a bit busier during the holiday season, but nothing too overwhelming.

The area is genuinely lovely too with lovely sunsets to cover the entire sky with beautiful colours during the twilight hour. Plus, it’s not unusual to spot pelicans hanging around. The bay is also wide and calm, which makes it a great place for a leisurely paddle.

Facilities-wise, they’ve thought of the essentials: there are toilets, rubbish bins, and a handy fish cleaning station if you’ve had a lucky day on the water. The nearby jetties at the Maritime Facility are also popular for a spot of fishing, and it’s where a lot of the local charter tours take off from.

And if you’re bringing the family along for the ride, there’s even a little playground nearby to keep the kids entertained while you sort the boat or fillet your catch. Planning to stick around? There’s no shortage of places to stay in the area, whether you’re after something simple or a little more comfortable.

All in all, it’s a solid spot for boaters, fishers, and families alike.
