Point Richards Boatramp

Point Richards Boat Ramp sits on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria, roughly 144 kilometres from Melbourne, providing direct access to Port Phillip Bay and the broader Corio Bay region.

The facility is managed by Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management and is free to use.

In recent years the ramp has undergone significant upgrades funded through Better Boating Victoria's recreational boating grants, including the addition of 50 car-trailer parking bays and the construction of a rock groyne to the west of the ramp.

The groyne redirected the navigational channel to a north-south orientation, marked by port and starboard navigation markers. Periodic dredging of the harbour entrance and interior is carried out to maintain safe access, as the ramp is prone to silting.

The site is popular with anglers targeting snapper, whiting, squid, and gummy shark across the central Port Phillip Bay region.
