The Wellington Drive boat ramp sits on a calm side channel of the Nambucca River estuary system, close to the river mouth at Nambucca Heads.

Its sheltered position on the channel makes it a practical launch point for canoes, kayaks, and small motorised craft exploring the estuary.

The ramp is one of several public access points along the Nambucca waterway, and is conveniently located near the Nambucca Boatshed on Wellington Drive, where canoes, kayaks, and runabouts can be hired.
