herron point boat ramp

The Herron Point Boat Ramp sits near the Herron Point Campground and features an unsealed launching area. It’s best suited for kayaks and canoes rather than full-sized boats, as the water here is very shallow. A dinghy can be launched when it’s not low tide, but anything larger should use the nearby small-vessel boat ramp instead. This area is well-loved for fishing, seasonal crabbing, kayaking, and peaceful walks along the shoreline.

The location offers great facilities and sits right beside the campground. While the shallow water makes it less ideal for boats, it’s perfect for families enjoying the water, scooping for crabs, or simply exploring the area. The spot is popular (even during weekdays), so booking ahead is recommended.

Herron Point Campground itself is a beautiful, nature-based site set along the sandy white edge of the Peel–Harvey Estuary, just 20 minutes from Pinjarra. It’s a charming, peaceful place surrounded by native flora, fauna, and wide, open views.

While mobile reception is generally good, Herron Point is the kind of place where you’re encouraged to switch off and unwind. Advance online bookings are required for all campsites. The campground is completely off-grid, with no main water or electricity, so visitors should come prepared to be self-sufficient.

Popular activities in the area include birdwatching, boating, camping, fishing, and swimming. Visitors also appreciate the clean restrooms, portable toilets, and easy access to the fresh estuary waters.

Whether you’re bringing a caravan or pitching a tent, it’s an excellent choice for a quiet getaway with family, friends, or even your dog.
