Point Richards Boatramp
Point Richards Boat Ramp is a multi-lane public launching facility on Port Phillip Bay near Portarlington on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula.
Managed in partnership with the Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management, the ramp underwent a major upgrade completed in August 2022, funded by Better Boating Victoria.
Improvements included four launch lanes, 50 additional boat and trailer parking bays, and the construction of a rock groyne to the west of the ramp.
The groyne reduces wave action and silt intrusion, creating calmer, sheltered water inside the harbour for launching and retrieval.
The upgrade also introduced a new north–south navigational channel marked by port and starboard markers to guide boaters safely in and out. Periodic dredging is carried out to maintain access.
The facility is considered notably user-friendly for boaters of all experience levels.
