Point Turton Boat Ramp,

The Point Turton Boat Ramp is a well-kept, dual-lane concrete ramp situated in Point Turton, South Australia. It features a central floating pontoon.

Positioned next to the Point Turton Jetty and close to the caravan park, it provides convenient access to the ocean. This makes it an ideal launch point for boating and fishing enthusiasts throughout the year. The ramp is known for its easy accessibility and protection from open bay conditions, allowing for safer launching in various weather and tidal conditions. Those visiting the ramp should check tidal and weather conditions for updates.

The jetty at the location was built by the State Government in 1876 and was used to quarry different goods to and from Point Turton and served as a port for the Warooka district in 1906. This facility includes ample parking for vehicles and boat trailers, though boaters must secure a launching permit before use. Permits can be purchased via the EzyPark App, coin-operated machines at the ramp, or designated local outlets.

While the ramp features amenities like sheltered picnic tables, chairs, stairs into the water, and fish cleaning stations, nearby facilities at Point Turton Caravan Park provide toilets, picnic areas, powered sites, dump points, and accommodation options for visitors planning to check in here. Additionally, Point Turton features excellent spots for fishing and swimming.

The adjacent jetty from the ramp serves as the main hub during the summer months, offering plenty of activities such as snorkelling, fishing, and swimming. Alternatively, you can simply relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Visitors can spot stingrays swimming in the water, while pelicans and seagulls can be seen nearby. Overall, this is a popular choice for both locals and tourists exploring the Yorke Peninsula. Feature Description
