 You can back your car right up to the beach and get your boat straight off onto the sand, very handy.  With luck the coffee van will be there.  Toilets are at the back of the car park.
-When leaving the beach use the northern end towards the bridge as there is foul ground directly off the beach.
+When leaving or returning to the beach use the northern end towards the bridge as there is foul ground directly off the beach.
 Typical expeditions out from here can be:
-  * A short trip down the channel to Boundary Island which has a nice beach to pull up on and have morning tea.
+    * A short trip down the channel into town for a coffee.  The Estuary Bridge clearance is 6.6m but note the Mandurah Bridge is only 4.4m.

   * Out into the Peel Inlet and around the science platform
   * Across the inlet and into the lower section of the Murray.  The south bank on Meeyip Island has a useable beach.

+This ramp is across the channel from Egret Point making it a handy launch point if want to join the FOAM group for a sail but your boat needs a ramp.   Best if you have a motor or oars as it is not really a ramp to sail in and out from.

+This is the main ramp to use if you want to sail the Harvey Estuary.   Plenty of jetty length for holding boats when launching or retrieving.   At the southern end of the car park there is a small beach launching spot for kayaks or boats on trolleys.   Good cafe over the road and toilets in the park.
