The ramp is about 2km south of the town. If you are leaving your car and trailer at the caravan park, and there are two of you, one can carefully take the boat northwards inside the reef around to Bills Bay to meet the driver at the caravan park. Do look out for coral bommies on the way. Otherwise there is no real beach to pull the boat up on at the ramp. The pontoons are for commercial or private use. Tie up on them and hope no-one needs them when you are there. To get to the main channel from the ramp you initially head south to the anchorage. From there you pick up the markers that will take you out through the reef. | The ramp is about 2km south of the town.

This is an industrial strength tourism site! | This is an industrial strength tourism site! |
The Google Maps image above is an accurate depiction of what we encountered when we arrived there. Lots of cars and boat trailers, and a big line of busses delivering tourists to the whale shark boats. Eventually all the tourists get onto their boats, things calm down and you can retrieve your boat (that is, once you have hiked to Yardie Station, and driven 400km to retrieve the cars and trailers left at Coral Bay) | The Google Maps image above is an accurate depiction of what we encountered when we arrived there.
