Bastion Point Boat Ramp

Bastion Point Boat Ramp: Located at 2 Bastion Point Road in Mallacoota, this facility provides direct, unshielded ocean access to Bass Strait. It is a dual-lane concrete/asphalt ramp protected by a breakwater rock wall and equipped with a central staging pontoon and a boarding jetty. Launching and retrieval are highly dangerous and require a high level of boating skill due to exposure to open ocean swells, rapid sand and kelp accumulation on the ramp, and the Mallacoota sandbar. Furthermore, the approach channel is subject to severe shoaling, with recorded depths of less than 0.3m to 0.7m at 0.2m AHD extending approximately 30 metres inwards from the end of the breakwater.
