The Whyalla Boat Ramp is one of the largest and most frequently used boat ramps in South Australia, offering direct access to Spencer Gulf. It is conveniently located near the Whyalla Marina, Whyalla Swimming Platform, and Whyalla Jetty.

This four-lane concrete ramp is suitable for a variety of vessels, ranging from small fishing boats to larger recreational cruisers. It features pontoons with tie points that help with docking and retrieving boats. Additionally, the ramp is protected by a breakwater wall, shielding it from strong coastal elements.

The ramp is known for its well-maintained facilities and ease of accessibility. It includes a large parking area with dedicated spaces for cars and trailers. Boaters using this ramp benefit from a range of amenities, including a fish-cleaning station, toilets, hot showers, wash-down facilities, and picnic areas. One of the most charming aspects of the ramp is the presence of dolphins, often seen swimming and frolicking around the area, particularly when fishers are present. These dolphins are known to be friendly towards humans.

Visitors can also enjoy food trucks on-site, ensuring no one goes hungry while at the ramp. Nearby, the Whyalla coastline offers excellent fishing opportunities, especially for snapper and squid. Land-based fishers can utilise the small jetty close by, although they might find themselves distracted by the playful dolphins.

As one of the premier boat ramps in the region, the Whyalla Boat Ramp is a top choice for both locals and tourists. Whether embarking on a deep-sea fishing trip or enjoying a casual day on the water, this ramp provides all the necessary facilities for a seamless experience.
