The Fisherman’s Beach Boat Ramp is a small, single-lane concrete ramp tucked away in Collaroy on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Best suited for lightweight vessels, this ramp can be a bit tricky to use, especially when the surf is rough. Since it's exposed to winds from the north, east, and west, launching and retrieving boats here is best left to experienced boaters who know the local conditions well.
Despite the challenges, this ramp provides direct access to calm coastal waters, making it a great spot for small boats, jet skis, and kayaks. Its proximity to Long Reef Aquatic Reserve also makes it a favourite for divers, snorkelers, and anglers looking to explore the area's vibrant marine life.
While facilities are limited, you’ll still find essentials like a fish cleaning station, picnic areas, benches, and public toilets nearby. Parking for cars and trailers is available, though it can fill up quickly. There’s also a golf club right next to the ramp, and a scenic sandy beach where visitors (including those with furry friends) can enjoy a leisurely stroll. Fisherman's Beach is a beautiful spot, offering stunning ocean views and a chance to spot diverse marine life. However, boaters should always be aware of the marine sanctuary rules, as some areas of Long Reef Aquatic Reserve have restrictions on fishing and other activities.
