 Wilson Inlet offers a beautiful wilderness sailing experience.  The inlet is 48 sq km in area, almost as large as Sydney Harbour.   Typical sailing destinations within the inlet are:  Fish Trap Beach, Powleys Landing, the Nullaki Boat Ramp, the beach on the east side of Pelican Point and, if depth permits, the bar at Ocean Beach.

 VHF Channels: 16, 22 \\
 Preferred Contact: VHF Channel 22

+Please note that Wilson Inlet is a large body of water. Sizeable waves can develop when the breeze comes in.  Most of the shoreline is inaccessible and much of the northern shore is rocky.  The water can be very cold.
+It is strongly advised that you carry a radio. An EPIRB or PLB is also useful because without local knowledge it is unlikely that you will be able to effectively describe your position by radio to any rescuers.  An anchor to hold your position in deeper water where rescuers can access you is also recommended.  Make sure that you carry warm clothing and good wet weather gear.

 This is the main ramp to use for access to the inlet.  Two ramps with one providing direct access to a small beach to pull your boat up on.   Toilets and cafe nearby.  Camping at the Rivermouth Caravan Park over the road.
+When exiting the channel leading out into the inlet keep heading out in line with the channel for another hundred metres or so, the shallows on each side of the channel extend a bit beyond the last markers.
