The Ocean Creek Boat Ramp, accessed via Peggy Bog Road in Airdmillan, is set within a quiet rural area and provides a wide, open ramp with 3 marked lanes. This layout allows multiple boats to launch or retrieve at the same time, making it suitable for both small and larger trailer boats. Access to the ramp is via a gate on a sharp left-hand bend, something to keep in mind when arriving, as the gate is occasionally locked and may restrict entry.
The ramp leads into Mud Creek, which winds its way out to the ocean. While the water here is quite muddy, it’s a productive area for fishing and crabbing, and boats can still move around even at very low tides. There’s no pontoon at the ramp, so extra care is needed when launching and retrieving, particularly in crocodile country.
Parking is generous, with plenty of space for vehicles and trailers, and the area is generally quiet and peaceful. That said, sandflies can be an issue; they are usually manageable during the day but can get very annoying at night. Visitors should also be cautious with crab pots, as theft has been reported.
Basic facilities are available, including a toilet, though it’s advised not to leave vehicles parked overnight. While solar lighting and security cameras are present, there have been times when the cameras have not been operational.
Overall, Ocean Creek Boat Ramp is a practical and spacious launch point with good fishing and crabbing opportunities, provided visitors plan ahead and remain mindful of access conditions and local hazards.
