The Shag Point Boat Ramp, located in the laid-back coastal town of Streaky Bay on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula and out of the township on Cape Bauer Road., is a top launch spot for anyone looking to tap into the rich fishing waters nearby and maybe even a bit beyond.
This 4-lane concrete ramp comes with 2 floating pontoons, so launching and loading up is nice and easy.A secondary concrete ramp for launching smaller boats is on the left as you enter the boat ramp area.
It's a popular launch pad for both recreational and commercial fishers, thanks to how close it is to some seriously productive fishing grounds.
One heads-up: the wind can kick up now and then, so keep an eye on the forecast before you head out.
You’ll need a permit to use the ramp, but you'll have to grab it in town beforehand, so plan ahead.
The ramp area is well set up with a large car park and dedicated trailer parking that can accommodate more than 50 spots, so even during busy fishing seasons, things run smoothly.
There are also handy extras like fish-cleaning stations, toilets, and nearby picnic spots if you want to relax post-trip. Please note that camping is prohibited here.
Streaky Bay itself is a stunner as it is famous for its rugged coastline and natural beauty. Plenty of boaters mix in a bit of sightseeing while they’re here. The town offers accommodations, fuel, and marine services, making it a well-equipped location for boating enthusiasts.
