The Greenwell Point Boat Ramp is a well-kept, dual-lane concrete ramp with a handy central pontoon for easier boat retrieval, offering direct access to the Crookhaven River and beyond the open ocean. Nestled in the charming fishing town of Greenwell Point (about 15 km east of Nowra) this ramp is a favourite among anglers and boaters alike, as it is easy to launch and retrieve boats.
The ramp area is more than just a launch site; it’s a great place to spend the day, even if you’re not heading out on the water. There’s plenty of parking for both cars and trailers, a fish cleaning station (where a pod of opportunistic pelicans gathers to snatch a fish or two), outdoor exercise equipment, a playground, BBQ facilities, picnic areas, and public toilets. A recently upgraded public wharf and mooring options are also available nearby for those needing a spot to dock.
Greenwell Point is a fantastic spot for boating, fishing, and sightseeing, with stunning river views and abundant marine life. The town is famous for its fresh oysters, and seafood lovers can enjoy local restaurants serving up the freshest catch of the day. Visitors can also explore local markets that celebrate the town’s rich fishing heritage. Essentials like fuel, cafés, shops, and accommodation options, including self-contained holiday houses and seaside motels, are all within easy reach.
Since this boat ramp is quite popular, especially during peak boating seasons, arriving early is recommended to secure a parking spot and ensure a smooth launch. Whether you’re here for a fishing adventure, a scenic cruise, or just to soak in the coastal charm, Greenwell Point is a must-visit destination.
