The North Haven Boat
Ramp is a highly utilised facility in North Haven, SA, featuring a concrete
ramp with over five lanes that facilitate safe and easy access for boaters
heading to the ocean. The multiple lanes allow for simultaneous launching and
retrieving of boats, that prevent delays for other users of the ramp.
This popular location
consistently attracts boaters, contributing to a busy atmosphere. Adjacent to
the ramp is a boat washing facility which is convenient for boaters. Toilets
are available next to the bait shop, right beside the Coast Guard office. However,
keep in mind that the toilets close at the same time as the bait shop.
Visitors will find the
bait and tackle shop to be helpful for purchasing fishing gear, bait, snacks,
and drinks. Additionally, there is a jet ski tours office for those interested
in participating in watersports. Anglers can enjoy fishing for various species,
including fish, crabs, and squid in the surrounding waters. For those without
boats, fishing is still accessible from the breakwater rocks.
The parking area at
the ramp accommodates ample space for both cars and trailers, and features
adequate lighting along with security cameras to enhance safety. It's important
to remember that there is a fee for using the ramp, which can be paid in cash or
by card when obtaining a ticket from the machine.
