The Gourits Estuary Slipway sits at the mouth of the Gouritz River near the small coastal town of Gouritsmond, accessible by turning off the R325.

It serves as a launch site for both commercially licensed deep-sea boats and recreational ski-boaters, making it a practical base for exploring the estuary and surrounding waters.

The area is well regarded as a fishing destination, with popular spots including "The Fisheries," "Bull Point," and "Kaap Vacca." Target species include garrick, white steenbras, kabeljou, grunter, and shad.

Beyond fishing, the broader estuary supports swimming, canoeing, water skiing, windsurfing, and birdwatching along its shores.
