Tandabiddi Boat Ramp

Tantabiddi Boat Ramp sits at the mouth of Tantabiddi Creek on the North West Cape, roughly 38–40 kilometres from Exmouth, Western Australia.

Managed by the Shire of Exmouth, the two-lane concrete facility is the primary gateway to the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef and serves as the main departure point for major commercial tour operators running whale shark and humpback whale tours, diving and fishing charters, and glass-bottom boat excursions.

Dolphins and dugongs are regularly spotted in the surrounding waters, and sport-fishing expeditions target marlin, sailfish, and Spanish mackerel.

The ramp operates at capacity during peak periods, creating competition between recreational users and commercial operators. Launching can also be restricted by sand and sediment build-up following heavy rain and flooding.

In response, a dedicated Tantabiddi Taskforce was established to address these pressures, and a redevelopment proposal has been put forward to expand and improve the facility.
