Located at the Big George Memorial along Limpus Avenue in Keppel Sands, the Schofield Boat Ramp provides access to Pumpkin Creek via a single-lane concrete ramp. It's a practical launching point for local boaters, while the surrounding foreshore area offers plenty of reasons to linger long after you've come off the water. There are limited parking spaces next to the ramp, which is illuminated. However, there are no amenities available inside the ramp.
However, the nearby parkland is well-maintained and reflects the pride the local community takes in this peaceful coastal town. Families will find plenty of amenities, including picnic areas, free BBQ facilities, a children's playground, accessible toilets, and ample parking. The beach is just a short walk away, making it easy to combine a boating trip with a relaxing day by the water.
