The Cannons Creek Boat Ramp, located on Cannons Creek Road, Cannons Creek VIC, is a small, local ramp that provides direct access to the sheltered waters of Cannons Creek and Western Port Bay. Positioned approximately 60 km southeast of Melbourne, this ramp is well-suited for small boats, kayaks, and fishing enthusiasts who enjoy a quiet, scenic waterway experience.
This single-lane concrete boat ramp is well-maintained by local authorities, ensuring safe and convenient
launching for smaller watercraft. There is a jetty available adjacent to the ramp and one a few metres away. They serve as a walkway and viewing deck while also being used as an aid for docking and retrieving boats. The limited parking spaces
may be a challenge during peak times, so visitors should plan their trips
accordingly.
The only available amenities are picnic tables, but the natural surroundings and calm waters make it an appealing spot for kayakers, anglers, and recreational boaters looking for a peaceful escape. There are available toilets at the community centre and a kids playground nearby.
Cannons Creek provides access to Rutherford Creek and to Western Port Bay, a well-known fishing destination with species such as snapper, whiting, and flathead. The sheltered waters are ideal for kayaking and small boating, but users should be aware of tidal changes and shallow areas, which can affect navigation.
