Newhaven Boat Ramp

Newhaven Boat Ramp: Located on Beach Crescent, Newhaven on Phillip Island, this facility serves as a vital component of the Western Port boat ramp network and provides easy access to offshore activities in Bass Strait via the eastern entrance. It features a two-lane concrete ramp (with planning underway for a third lane) and an access jetty. Amenities include fish cleaning facilities, toilets, garbage bins, and boat washdown facilities, though carpark spaces for cars and trailers are limited. The ramp is free to use and operates year-round, with high peak-season usage. Operational constraints include big tide actions, a limited berthing area to tie up vessels when busy, and a fairly tight navigation channel to exit out into the open bay.
