Soldiers Point Boat Ramp is
a top-notch launch spot for anyone keen to explore the beautiful waters of Port
Stephens. Whether you're just getting started or you're a seasoned boater, this
ramp is a great place to kick off a day on the Karuah River or venture out
along the stunning coastline.
The dual-lane concrete
ramp is built to handle all sorts of vessels, from fishing boats to larger rec
boats. With two floating pontoons on site, loading and unloading your boat is a
breeze. There’s even a small breakwater nearby to help keep things a bit calmer
when conditions are less than perfect.
It’s always a smart
move to check the tides and weather before heading out; it can make a big
difference in how smoothly your day goes. The ramp is popular with local fishos
and weekend warriors heading out to the bay, reefs, or estuaries for a bit of
adventure.
Around the ramp,
you'll find plenty of parking for cars and trailers, plus handy facilities like
public toilets, picnic spots, and fish cleaning stations. Keep an eye out for
the local pelicans, who love to hang around the fish cleaning area hoping for a
free snack.
While it’s not really
a swimming or beach hangout spot, it’s a solid choice for boating, fishing, and
water sports, especially if you're into marine life and a more peaceful vibe.
It’s also a great spot for a dog walk, and when the day winds down, you can’t
beat the view; sunsets here are seriously stunning.
With Soldiers Point
just around the corner offering more amenities and great views, this boat ramp
is a well-rounded and relaxed launch point for your next Port Stephens
adventure.
