The Newhaven boat ramp, located on Phillip Island, serves as a vital component of the Western Port boat ramp network. It features a two-lane concrete ramp, a jetty for easy access to the water and ample parking for visitors. This setup makes it an ideal destination for boating enthusiasts.

Boaters use the ramp all year, with increased activity from spring to early autumn. It is popular with recreational fishers and boaters, especially on weekends and public holidays.

The upgrade of the ramp is currently in the works. This upgrade addresses several issues, including limited space and suboptimal configuration for berthing and tie-up points, insufficient car-trailer unit parking, tidal restrictions at low tide, and accessibility challenges related to the jetty.

Additionally, the site offers fish cleaning and boat wash facilities and is located adjacent to a yacht club and a marina. Like all boat ramps in Victoria, the Newhaven boat ramp is free to use.

There are plenty of seagulls and pelicans surrounding the ramp so watch out for them!

Like all boat ramps in Victoria, this ramp is free to use.
