To assist you to locate a suitable boat launching or personal water craft facility in the Alexandrina region we have created a map indicating some of the better known boat ramp locations. Alexandrina Council suggest that you take the following steps to plan your day on the water:

  1. Check the latest weather information, via the Bureau of Meteorology for local conditions
  2. Check specific facilities available at each Boat Ramp as not all boat ramps are suitable for all types of boat/trailer configurations in all tidal conditions
  3. Please consider the tide, your safety and those around you when engaging in boating activities especially around ramps where there may be children present.

Alexandrina Council do not charge for boat ramp use or require any permits, however please follow signage at individual locations regarding any relevant restrictions.
