The Dru Point Boat Ramp in Margate is a well-designed triple-lane concrete ramp with walkways on both sides, making launching and retrieving boats a smooth process. It provides easy access to North West Bay, the River Derwent, and even the open ocean. Thanks to its sheltered location, boaters can use the ramp in all tide conditions without worrying about extreme weather. The bay itself is a fantastic spot for fishing and cruising, offering plenty of opportunities for a great day on the water.

For those who prefer to fish from land, the jetties beside the ramp are a solid spot to cast a line and try your luck. Parking is hassle-free, with plenty of space for both cars and trailers. While there aren’t any amenities right at the ramp, you’ll find everything you need just a short stroll away at Dru Point Bicentennial Park.

The park is a fantastic place to unwind, whether you’re enjoying a picnic, taking a walk with your dog, or getting in some exercise. It’s well-equipped with toilets, BBQ stations, picnic tables, benches, and sheltered areas. Kids can burn off some energy at the playground, while sports enthusiasts can make use of the tennis courts. There’s even a small café for a quick bite or coffee.

The park is also home to a Memorial Garden dedicated to missing persons and several sites honouring Indigenous heritage. A scenic walk along the shoreline features informative plaques that pay tribute to the land’s traditional custodians. Bird watchers will also enjoy spotting local wildlife, with ducks, pelicans, and seagulls frequently making an appearance. Whether you’re launching a boat, fishing from the jetty, or just soaking in the peaceful surroundings, you can all enjoy them here.
