Situated along the Esplanade in the picturesque township of Coles Bay, this four-lane concrete boat ramp offers a central pontoon platform with landing platforms on either side, ensuring smooth and efficient launching. The ramp is accessible at all tides, though it can be exposed in south-westerly weather. The gentle slope makes launching and retrieving your boat straightforward, and the surrounding scenery is nothing short of spectacular, with panoramic views of Freycinet’s peaks and sparkling waters.

The facility is well-maintained and easy to use, but weekends often bring crowds, and parking for boat trailers is limited. Slippery ramps can also be a challenge, so care is needed.

For those lucky enough to secure a space, it’s the ideal starting point for exploring Coles Bay’s renowned fishing spots. A short stroll from the ramp, you’ll find public toilets and picnic tables, making it a convenient stop for a relaxed day on the water.

With its stunning backdrop, easy water access, and proximity to local eateries, the Coles Bay Boat Ramp is both a practical launch site and a truly idyllic spot to take in Tasmania’s coastal beauty. Just plan ahead for parking during peak times.
