The Charlotte Cove Boat Ramp, situated in the quiet rural setting of Charlotte Cove in the Huon Valley, features a dual-lane concrete ramp with an adjoining pontoon platform for easy docking and retrieval. As an all-tide facility, the ramp offers convenient access to the Huon River, making it user-friendly throughout the day.
Located just over an hour south of Hobart via the Channel Highway, it’s a practical and scenic launching point for those exploring the river or heading out toward nearby islands.
Set within a sheltered cove, the ramp is generally well protected, though it can be exposed to northwesterly weather conditions. It sees a moderate amount of traffic during the summer months, while the cooler seasons tend to be quieter.
On-site parking for cars and boat trailers is available, though capacity is limited and can fill quickly during peak times. For those interested in fishing or exploring by water, this location is a strong choice.
The surrounding area is calm and picturesque, with a beachside walking track accessible directly from the ramp. The bay itself offers attractive views, including a distinctive timber cottage on stilts that adds to the charm of the setting. It's worth noting that there are no facilities or amenities at the ramp, so visitors should plan accordingly.
