Hastings Boat Ramp

Positioned on Marine Parade within the Hastings Foreshore Reserve, this premier facility provides access to the sheltered waters of Hastings Bight in Western Port. The infrastructure features a durable, high-capacity four-lane concrete ramp designed to handle heavy traffic. Boarding and staging are highly developed, featuring two refurbished fixed jetties and two large, heavy-duty floating pontoons equipped with non-slip decking and all-abilities access hoists. The primary hazard is rapid silting caused by extensive mudflats, requiring periodic maintenance dredging of both the inner basin and main navigation channel.
