The Stanley Boat Ramp, located on Wharf Road near the Stanley Jetty and Fisherman’s Wharf Lookout, offers a dual-lane concrete ramp with a central stepped walkway, as well as a smaller single-lane ramp with an adjacent walkway. A breakwater provides protection, but visitors should still watch their step, as surfaces can be slippery.
Parking is plentiful, accommodating both cars and trailers. Nearby, there are hotels and a seafood restaurant, making it convenient for a day on the water or a longer visit.
The Stanley Jetty itself is a picturesque spot and ideal for fishing. Anglers often catch salmon, squid, trevally, and mackerel, and families can enjoy the quiet setting, sometimes spotting penguins, seals, whales, or even rays near the wharf. The location sits just beneath the dramatic cliffs on the northern edge of Stanley, offering beautiful views without any entry or parking fees.
Whether you’re launching a boat, casting a line, or simply enjoying the wildlife and scenery, this area is one of Stanley’s hidden gems. Its combination of calm waters, abundant marine life, and stunning surroundings makes it a must-visit destination when exploring the region.
