The Arno Bay Boat
Harbour has a double-lane boat ramp with a pontoon in the middle that makes it
easy to launch and retrieve boats, no matter the tide. This setup improves
efficiency, but strong waves can sometimes make launching and retrieving a bit
tricky.
For fishing and
boating fans, there is a fish cleaning table with running water, making it easy
and clean to prepare catches. Restroom facilities are also available for the
ramp user’s comfort.
There is plenty of
parking at the harbour for all kinds of vehicles and trailers. The layout
ensures enough space for standard vehicles and larger towing setups, reducing
congestion during busy times.
Visitors can enjoy the
pontoon as a viewing platform to admire the beautiful views of the area. This
space is great for relaxing and taking in the scenery.
The access roads to
the boat ramp are well-maintained. Throughout the year, visitors will find a
convenient and welcoming environment at the Arno Bay Boat Harbour, making it a
great spot for recreational boating and fishing.
The Arno Bay boat ramp
operates with a daily fee of just $5, which can conveniently be paid at the
boat ramp itself through an honesty box system. For those who plan to visit
more frequently, yearly boat ramp fees are available and can be settled in person
at several local establishments, including the Arno Bay Jetty Cafe, Hotel Arno,
and the Council Office.
