Nestled along Annetts Parade near the iconic Mossy Point Lookout, the Mossy Point Boat Ramp offers easy access to the picturesque Tomaga River. The facility features a dual-lane boat ramp, a jetty, and ample parking, making it a popular launch point for boating, fishing, kayaking, and other water activities along the NSW South Coast.
Boaters can launch directly into the Tomaga River, although the nearby river mouth creates strong tidal currents. While the ramp is easy to use and offers plenty of room for turning and manoeuvring, launching is best done at high tide due to the shallow water.
Mossy Point is often described as one of the South Coast's hidden gems. Bordered by the Tomaga River to the north and Candlagan Creek to the south, the area is known for its calm waters (most of the time), making it ideal for boating, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, jet skiing, and fishing. Whether you're heading out on the water or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, it's a wonderful place to spend the day.
The reserve beside the ramp is well equipped with generous parking for vehicles and trailers, clean public toilets, picnic tables and benches, and wheelchair-friendly facilities. While the jetty itself is accessed by steps, visitors can still enjoy excellent views of the water and its abundant wildlife from the nearby grassy areas.
One of Mossy Point's biggest attractions is its resident stingrays, which are frequently seen gliding around the jetty and boat ramp, especially when anglers are cleaning their catch. The local pelicans are equally entertaining, often trying to snatch fish scraps from unsuspecting fishermen, adding a little extra character to every visit.
For those looking to stay on land, there's plenty to enjoy as well. A small pop-up café serves fresh coffee, cakes, and light snacks, making it the perfect place to relax while taking in the river views. Visitors can also hire kayaks, join guided tours, rent bikes, or explore the scenic walking trails that wind through the surrounding area.
Whether you're launching a boat, casting a line, paddling along the river, or simply unwinding with friends, a coffee, or a picnic, Mossy Point offers a peaceful coastal escape with beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife, and something for visitors of all ages.
