The Tugela Mouth boat ramp sits on the Thukela (Tugela) River where it meets the Indian Ocean on the KwaZulu-Natal coast.

It serves as a launch point for ski-boats heading into the Indian Ocean, though conditions here are notably variable — launches may take place through the river itself or directly from the beach depending on prevailing conditions.

No tractor service is available at this ramp. The surrounding area is well regarded among anglers, with the river mouth and nearshore waters offering opportunities for shad, salmon, rock cod, and game fish.

The broader Tugela Mouth area retains a largely undeveloped character, supporting a healthy ecosystem that includes sea turtles and diverse birdlife.
