Tucked away at 6 Major
St. in Weymouth, the Weymouth Rivers Boat Ramp is a small but handy concrete
ramp that provides small boats direct access to Pipers River, leading out to
Weymouth Beach and Noland Bay. Thanks to its sheltered location, the ramp can
be accessed in all weather conditions, but be aware that low tide can make
launching nearly impossible. If you're planning to hit the water, check the
tide charts to make sure you have the right timing.
Right next to the
ramp, Pipers River Beach is a fantastic spot for kayaking, cruising, and
swimming. It's especially popular with families since the calm, shallow waters
make it a safe and fun place for kids to splash around. Locals love using this
ramp to access deeper waters, where they can try their luck fishing for a
variety of species.
Parking for cars and
trailers is limited, so arriving early is a good idea. If you’re looking to
relax after a day on the water, there’s a picnic area just a few metres away
with a BBQ station, picnic tables, and benches; perfect for winding down and
enjoying the coastal views. Whether you're heading out for a fishing trip, a
leisurely paddle, or just a fun day by the water, the Weymouth Rivers Boat Ramp
is a hidden gem worth checking out!
