Description |
Steep and wide concrete ramp into the harbour entrance, east side. This was an old ferry ramp, can be step off the end at low spring tide, tide race at half tide can make launch and recovery difficult. Possible to launch off the beach to the seaward side with a 4 x 4 vehicle. Difficult for car at low water. Can get crowded in the summer. |
