The Point Souttar Boat Ramp is a highly functional facility near Burners Beach located on North Coast Road, Point Souttar, on the Yorke Peninsula. It provides access to the Spencer Gulf and is frequently used by anglers and recreational boaters looking to explore the region's productive fishing grounds.
What makes this ramp unique is that it does not feature a concrete structure or designated lanes for launching boats. Instead, it has a sandy surface combined with hard-packed dirt and natural stone, creating a makeshift ramp with a slight decline. The ramp consists of only one lane and is suitable for launching small to medium-sized boats, such as tinnies, kayaks, and other small motorised, trailerable vessels. Boaters are advised to be careful to avoid hitting offshore rocks.
There are no pontoons or jetties, but launching and retrieving boats is straightforward and easy, as boaters can launch in nearly all tide conditions. Wave issues are minimal, making this location safe for launching. However, boaters should be cautious to avoid hitting offshore rocks.
While there is no traditional parking lot, there is plenty of space nearby to park vehicles and trailers. The ground in the parking area is gravel.
On the way to the ramp, you'll find the Burners Beach Bush Camping Ground, where motorhomes, caravans, and campervans can set up camp. There are also drop toilets available at this site.
The beach offers beautiful, crystal-clear water that is quite shallow and warm, making it perfect for young children. Additionally, nearby rock pools provide opportunities for snorkelling. The area is quiet and serene, making it an appealing spot for those looking to escape busier coastal hubs.
With its proximity to excellent fishing spots and calm waters, the Point Souttar Boat Ramp is an ideal option for boaters who prefer a quieter launching point with good access to offshore opportunities.
