The Port Newry Boat Ramp, located on Victoria Creek in Seaforth, is a well-designed, four-lane concrete ramp with a floating pontoon, offering easy access to Victoria Creek and the nearby sea. The ramp is very sheltered, wide, and deep, making it a popular choice for boaters. A pontoon jetty alongside the ramp makes loading and unloading straightforward, while a small beach area sits to one side, adding to its appeal.
Navigating the channel out to sea is well-marked, but boaters should stick close to the markers, particularly at low tide, and take care during larger tides. The ramp provides quick access to Rabbit and Newry Islands, making it a great starting point for exploration or fishing.
Facilities are excellent, with a large car and trailer parking
area, a toilet block, freshwater taps, and a hose for washing boats. Amenities are clean and well-maintained, though sandflies can be present near grassy areas. The mangroves at the creek mouth add a scenic touch, and the surrounding waters offer good fishing opportunities for those hoping to catch a few.
Overall, Port Newry is a safe, practical, and attractive ramp with plenty of space and excellent facilities, making it one of the top boat ramps in the region.
