 ==== Coalmine Beach ====
+{{ walpole:coalminebeach.jpg ? 650 }}
+{{ walpole:DSC00154.jpg ? 650 }}
+This ramp is adjacent to Coalmine Beach Caravan Park where we all camp for the Walpole Regatta.
+It is a good ramp with a small beach that you can pull your boat up onto.  However,  the water is quite shallow making the ramp not good for anything that has a keel.  Parking for cars and trailers is at the top of the hill where you will also find a toilet.  After launching you will typically move your boat down the beach so that it is in front of the caravan park.

 ==== Town Ramp ====
+{{ walpole:townramp.jpg ? 650 }}
+Have not used this ramp but I believe it is the better option for deeper draft boats.  Toilets and picnic area are adjacent.

 ==== Rest Point ====

+A basic beach ramp for residents of the caravan park.  A nice place to pull up for an ice cream from the caravan park shop.
