The Tacoma Boat Ramp, located in the suburb of Tacoma on the Central Coast, offers dependable, round-the-clock access to the calm waters of the Wyong River. This single-lane concrete ramp provides a simple and practical launch point for small to medium-sized boats, and it’s a popular spot for casual fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. A fixed jetty next to the ramp helps make launching and retrieving boats easier for recreational users.

However, boaters should be aware of sand build-up at the base of the ramp, which can create an uneven surface and make retrievals more difficult, especially for boats over 16 feet. The river itself is generally calm and well-suited to smaller boats, but there are numerous shallow areas, so it’s worth exercising caution when navigating.

The limited parking space, particularly for larger trailers, means you may need to park on the nearby grassy verge. Manoeuvrability is also a bit tight for bigger setups.

Set in a quiet riverside area with grassy surrounds, it’s also a pleasant location for family picnics, riverside walks, or just enjoying a peaceful sunrise. While there are no toilets on-site, the ramp area is a good place for a quiet BBQ or a relaxed afternoon by the water. The ramp is especially ideal for families looking to introduce the kids to fishing or enjoy a low-key day outdoors.
