Update as of 8 October 2026:
Getting out on the water at one of Western Port’s busiest facilities is now easier than ever. The upgraded Tooradin boat ramp now features a new 42-metre, three-lane ramp with a grooved surface for extra grip and easier sand clearance, upgraded pontoons with space for six boats across two floating pontoons, and a wider entry lane to improve traffic flow and make launching and retrieving your boat smoother.
The completed revamped Tooradin ramp is ready just in time for summer adventures. This project was made possible through your boating licence and registration fees, delivered via the Victorian Government’s Better Boating Fund.
The Tooradin boat ramp, located in the Tooradin Foreshore Reserve, serves as a vital component of the Western Port boat ramp network, featuring a
three-lane concrete ramp alongside two floating pontoons, fish cleaning
facilities, parking, and restroom amenities.
Predominantly utilised
by recreational fishers, the ramp is also used by recreational boaters. Boaters
are consistently using the ramp throughout the year, with a noticeable increase
during the spring to early autumn months. The facility is designed to accommodate
small to medium vessels, with the capability to launch boats up to 8 metres in
length. The downside of this ramp is that launching at low tide could be tricky.
The ramp is complemented by a fishing jetty that’s a favourite among land-based anglers, offering an easy and accessible spot to cast a line. Nearby, two fish cleaning stations make it convenient to prepare your catch before heading home.
There’s also ample parking available, with plenty of space for both cars and trailers, making launching and retrieving a hassle-free experience.
In addition to its
functional amenities, the ramp area offers a delightful spot to relax and enjoy
picturesque sunsets, with wooden bench seating, picnic tables, toilets, showers, drinking water fountain, and a playground available in the Reserve nearby. It is also a wonderful place for dog walking and overnight camping.
