Port Minlacowie Boat Ramp, Minlaton

Located on the western coast of the Yorke Peninsula, north of Minlacowie Road and accessible via Beegoodyewells Road, the Port Minlacowie Boat Ramp provides straightforward access to the open ocean. The facility features a simple single-lane concrete ramp that serves as a beach launch area situated just north of the campground, making it a convenient option for small boats and recreational anglers.

There is a large gravel area ideal for rigging boats and parking cars and trailers. A sheltered picnic area is located beside the ramp with water access.

Located not far from the ramp, the Port Minlacowie Campground is known for its peaceful setting and spacious, open layout, offering plenty of room for caravans, camper trailers, and larger rigs. Its drive-in, drive-out design makes setting up easy, while the nearby boat ramp adds to its appeal for those keen to get out on the water.

Visitors will find basic facilities, including a toilet and a sheltered picnic area. While the campground is best suited to self-contained campers, it provides a comfortable base for a relaxing coastal getaway. The nearest dump point and waste disposal facilities are located at Minlaton Oval, with the township of Minlaton offering a full range of services including supermarkets, fuel, medical facilities, dining options, and other essential amenities.

The area is popular with campers looking for a quiet escape, as well as anglers hoping to wet a line from the shore. Fishing can be enjoyed from both the beach and nearby rocky areas, although the shallow waters often bring in seaweed, and fishing from the rocks can occasionally result in lost tackle. Even so, many visitors appreciate the laid-back atmosphere and scenic coastal surroundings.

Whether you're planning a weekend of bush camping, launching a boat for a day on the water, or simply looking for a peaceful spot to unwind, Port Minlacowie offers a relaxed and practical coastal retreat.
