Situated on Flinders Street near the Tamar Sea Rescue headquarters in Beauty Point, the Inspection Head Boat Ramp provides convenient access to the River Tamar for recreational boaters and anglers. The facility features a dual-lane concrete boat ramp with a central pontoon, making launching and retrieving boats straightforward and efficient.
The ramp offers all-tide access, allowing vessels to launch regardless of the tide. However, it is exposed to easterly and south-easterly weather conditions, so boaters should take prevailing winds into account when planning their trip.
A large parking area is available beside the ramp, offering plenty of space for vehicles and boat trailers, making it easy to prepare for a day on the water. While the site is well suited for launching, visitors should note that there are no public amenities or facilities available at the ramp itself. Though a few metres along the W Tamar Highway, there is a public toilet, a cafe, and fuel.
Overall, the Inspection Head Boat Ramp is a practical and reliable launching point for exploring the scenic waters of the River Tamar, with easy access, ample parking, and a simple, functional layout.
