The Brunswick Heads Boat Ramp, situated within the Brunswick Heads Boat Harbour precinct, offers a dual-lane concrete ramp providing direct access to the scenic Brunswick River and surrounding waterways. It's a well-used ramp with practical facilities, including a fish cleaning station with fresh water, a boat wash-down area, a pontoon, and shaded seating nearby.
The ramp itself is in good condition, though launching and retrieval can be affected by tidal movement and wind, so some care may be needed.
Parking is available, including space for RVs, but it can be tight during busy periods, similar to many coastal ramps when the weather is favourable.
This is a popular spot not just for boating, but for enjoying the relaxed riverside atmosphere. There's plenty of shade, great views, and a calm setting that's ideal for fishing, wildlife spotting, or simply watching the boats pass by. Swimming is also popular here thanks to the clear, clean water.
The nearby Brunswick Heads Boat Harbour and Marina offer berths for visiting vessels, but boaters should be aware of the hazardous bar at the river mouth when entering or leaving the harbour.
While the area is generally well-liked and often described as peaceful and family-friendly, it does lack bathroom facilities, something that many feel needs urgent attention, given the ramp’s popularity. Additional improvements, like surveillance or security, would also be welcomed by regular users.
Overall, it’s a great place to launch a boat, take a stroll, enjoy the river, or just unwind for a while. Whether you're out fishing, paddling, or enjoying a whale watching tour, Brunswick Heads offers a relaxed coastal experience with plenty to enjoy.
