Hastings

Located on Marine Parade along the western shore of Western Port, this premier regional facility features a high-capacity four-lane grooved concrete launch ramp serviced by dual central floating pontoons and an adjacent fixed jetty. The extensive foreshore reserve provides ample paved car-and-trailer parking, illuminated fish cleaning tables, boat washdown bays, and public amenities. Positioned beside the Hastings Marina, the ramp offers reliable 24/7 all-tide deepwater access into the main western channel, making it a favored departure point for targeting snapper, gummy sharks, and King George whiting. Skippers should account for moderate cross-tides when backing down along the pontoon edges during strong tidal shifts.
