If you're looking for
a great spot to launch your boat, you’ll love this sheltered 2-lane concrete
boat ramp located at Fern Street, Windang! It’s perfect for getting onto either
Lake Illawarra or out to the sea. Just a heads up, though—there’s a steep drop
at the end, and launching can be a bit tricky during low tide since the water
gets low; low enough for you to wade in. But overall, it’s a fantastic place
for boaters of all experience levels.
Right next to the
ramp, there's a lovely jetty for doing a bit of docking, sightseeing, or
fishing. You’ll find cosy benches along the water banks, making it easy to
relax while you cast your line. Anglers will be especially pleased to know
there’s a handy fish-cleaning facility available, too!
Parking is super
convenient with plenty of space for cars and trailers plus a toilet block,
which makes using the ramp a breeze. And don't be surprised if you see some
pelicans hanging around; they sure love this spot.
In addition to all
that, there is a lovely sandy beach and a shady area nearby, plus sheltered
picnic spots and BBQ stations that are ideal for picnics, refreshing walks,
paddleboarding, swimming, or even a BBQ party. If you're thinking about
extended stays, there’s a tourist park close by where you can spend a few days
enjoying the area.

market for a new boat or want to upgrade your engine, swing by Sunset Marine Shellharbour, just a quick 7-minute drive from the ramp. They’ve got a great

boat there and back. Plus, they offer trailers, marine gear, fishing supplies,
and all sorts of boating goodies.
