-Positioned at the southern end of Safety Bay this is quite possibly the nicest ramp you will ever encounter.  Quiet, lots of space, and a nice sandy beach to pull your boat up onto from either of the two ramps.   However it is somewhat isolated.  A good toilet block but no cafe nearby.

-A nice excursion is to sail northwards across the bay towards Penguin Island, across the bar, and into Shoalwater Bay.  However if the sea breeze comes in one has an upwind work to get back to the ramp.

 An alternate trip to try might be to head west around  Becher Point across the shallows inside the reef and head south into Comet Bay, possibly as far as Mandurah.  You would then have the sea breeze to take you back again.

+Have not used this ramp.  Its location is ideal for exploring Safety Bay and into Shoalwater Bay however its parking and rigging area is limited.  Cafe over the road.  Some shallows to negotiate getting in and out of the ramp.
