Bellambi Boat Ramp (Main Ramp)

Bellambi Boat Ramp (Main Ramp): Located off Robert Cram Drive (LOT 1 Armour St) within the Bellambi beach foreshore reserve in Bellambi, NSW 2518, this major facility is managed by Wollongong City Council and provides direct saltwater launching access to the open Pacific Ocean. It features a robust, high-durability concrete four-lane ramp complemented by a nearby single-lane unsealed sand beach ramp suitable for light craft like kayaks and dinghies. On-water staging is serviced by a dedicated ramp pontoon and an adjacent fixed timber jetty; however, the absence of a modern heavy-duty floating pontoon complicates vessel handling, and waterway access is tide-dependent and shallow at times. Swell surge frequently pushes through the breakwall onto the ramp surface, creating hazards for operators. Landside facilities include a fish cleaning station, toilets, rubbish bins, area lighting for night use, and extensive trailer parking with 51-80 car-trailer spaces.
