The Point Samson Boat
Ramp, located beside Johns Creek Boat Harbour on Honeymoon Road, is a fantastic
spot for a day out on the water. Whether you're launching a boat, casting a
fishing line, or just enjoying the coastal views, this location has plenty to
offer. Plus, if you're a seafood lover, you can grab some of the freshest local
catches while you're here!
This dual-lane
concrete boat ramp is well-sheltered and features a multi-level pontoon,
providing easy access into Butcher Inlet. It’s designed to accommodate boats of
all sizes—just make sure to check the tides before launching. The harbour is
protected by three breakwaters, keeping the ramp safe from strong waves, making
launching and retrieving your boat much smoother.
Parking is never a
hassle with a large, sealed area available for both cars and trailers, ensuring
a safe and convenient experience. If you prefer land-based fishing, the rock
groynes around the harbour provide some great fishing opportunities without needing
a boat.
The Johns Creek Boat
Harbour also features a service jetty equipped with single and three-phase
power, water, and lighting. Keep in mind that berths alongside the jetty can
dry out at high tide, so plan accordingly. There’s also a universal access
public toilet near the boat ramp car park for added convenience.
If you’re looking to
explore beyond the ramp, Honeymoon Cove, located just a short distance from
John’s Creek Harbour, is another popular local gem. With protected sandy
beaches, vibrant marine life for snorkelling, and breathtaking sunsets, it’s
the perfect spot for a relaxing coastal escape.
Surrounded by
beautiful mangrove forests, Point Samson itself is a charming, laid-back
coastal village that’s a favourite holiday destination for fishing, swimming,
and unwinding in nature. Whether you're visiting for a quick fishing trip or
planning a longer getaway, this stunning location is well worth the visit!
