The McLoughlins Beach Boat Ramp in McLoughlins Beach, Gippsland, provides direct access to the Gippsland Lakes and Bass Strait, making it an important launching point for both inshore and offshore boating.

This ramp is particularly ideal for serious anglers, providing access to some of the finest fishing spots in eastern Victoria. It features a dual-lane concrete ramp with a small adjacent jetty, which makes launching, docking, and retrieving boats convenient.

One of the key advantages of this ramp is its proximity to both sheltered waters and open sea fishing grounds. However, boaters should be cautious of tidal changes and shifting sandbanks, which can affect navigation.

The car park has enough spots for car and trailer parking, but during peak fishing seasons, it can become crowded. For added safety, the boat ramp and parking area are equipped with solar lighting, enhancing visibility at night.

There is a long jetty/boardwalk that connects McLoughlins Beach and Ninety Mile Beach, providing a great opportunity for visitors without boats to explore both areas.

The surrounding area offers basic amenities, including toilets and picnic areas, but there are no nearby fuel stations, so boaters should ensure they are fully prepared before launching.

The McLoughlins Beach inlet leads into Corner Inlet, allowing for calmer conditions when ocean access is restricted due to rough weather. It is popular among anglers targeting flathead, whiting, and gummy sharks.

McLoughlins Beach remains a favorite for those looking to fish offshore or explore the rich estuarine waters of Gippsland.
