Rocky Point Boat Ramp

The Rocky Point Boat Ramp in Weipa is a simple yet convenient single-lane concrete ramp that provides easy access to the mouth of the Mission River and out into the open ocean. Perfect for small boats, the ramp is designed for trailer and tow-vehicle launches, with a sloping paved surface that extends below low tide, making it usable in all tide conditions.

Beside the ramp, there’s a small rock formation where anglers often try their luck catching bait fish; plenty of them can be found in the area. The spot is also well-known for its stunning sunsets, drawing in visitors who want to take in the breathtaking views. However, it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings. Crocodiles frequent the area, so swimming is definitely not recommended.

There have been discussions about a $12 million upgrade to the ramp, with the State Government seeking more community feedback on the project. While an initial concept plan was presented at a Weipa Bowls Club information session, there haven't been any major updates as of now.

All in all, Rocky Point offers a peaceful spot for launching boats and fishing along the banks. Whether you're heading out onto the water or just enjoying the scenic views, it’s a great place to spend some time; just be sure to keep an eye out for the local wildlife!
