Salmon Bay is a designated surf-launch boat ramp located at Ballito on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, situated just south of Ballito's main beaches.

It is considered one of the more challenging launch sites in the region, characterised by a steep beach, a heavy shorebreak, and rocks to the north and south of the bay. A tractor service has historically been available, with launch fees subject to review.

The Ballito Inflatable Boat Club is based here, and the site hosts the annual SKI Boat fishing competition each July.

The surrounding waters offer productive year-round fishing, with dorado, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna running in summer, and garrick and queen mackerel more common in winter. The Ballito wreck, roughly 100 metres from the launch, is a well-known live-bait spot.

Offshore, the ledge approximately 40 kilometres out draws anglers targeting marlin. Boaters launching here are advised to read the swell angle carefully before attempting entry or exit.
