Located on Phillip Island, Rhyll Boat Ramp is a well-known access point for those enjoying the boating and fishing opportunities of Western Port. The boat ramp features three concrete lanes, providing straightforward access for recreational boaters and anglers heading out onto the bay.
The facility underwent significant upgrades in 2021, improving both functionality and convenience. New pontoon jetties were added to make launching and retrieval easier, while the ramp lanes were extended further into the water to improve all-tide access. The redevelopment also included upgraded lighting, jetty fenders, redesigned parking for cars and trailers, and the installation of new fish cleaning tables.
Today, the site offers ample parking, making it more manageable even during busier periods. Nearby amenities include public toilets and a water refill station, adding to the overall practicality of the location.
A long fishing jetty sits within walking distance of the ramp and is frequently used by visitors casting a line from shore. The area has a relaxed and welcoming feel, with plenty of pelicans and seagulls adding to the coastal atmosphere.
Overall, Rhyll provides a well-equipped and pleasant setting for boating, fishing, or simply spending time by the water.
