The Dingo Beach boat ramp recently got a much-needed upgrade with a brand-new 2-lane concrete ramp that gives boaters direct access to the open ocean.

During the construction, Australian Concrete Mats set up a temporary ramp and hard stand surface, ensuring boaters could still hit the water while the permanent ramp was being built. Now, with the upgrade complete, launching here is smoother than ever! From this spot, you can head straight out to Black Currant–Manta Ray Reef, Manta Ray Island, and even further into the stunning Whitsundays.

If you’re planning an early morning or twilight fishing trip, this ramp is a fantastic starting point, as the waters tend to be calm and glassy during those times. Plus, parking isn’t an issue, with plenty of space for cars and trailers nearby.

Dingo Beach itself is a hidden gem; a wide, sandy stretch with crystal-clear aquamarine waters and a peaceful vibe. It’s a perfect place to unwind, have a picnic, and let the salty sea breeze wash over you. Families will love the designated swimming net, which keeps kids safely within the shallows while they splash around.

The area is well-equipped with electric BBQ stations, picnic tables, toilets, showers, and a shaded playground for the little ones. Just keep in mind that camping isn’t allowed here. Dingo Beach is strictly for day-use visitors. But if you’re keen to stay longer, there’s a beachside hotel nearby where you can soak up more of this beautiful coastal paradise.
