Rooiels Coastal Slipway

The Rooiels Coastal Slipway is a concrete boat ramp located in the small coastal village of Rooi-Els on the eastern shore of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa.

It serves as a launch point for recreational and diving boats heading out to sites such as Rooi-Els Point, and can accommodate vessels larger than inflatables, though launching at low tide can be challenging.

Access to the slipway is restricted — a boom controls entry, and users typically need to know a local to have it unlocked. The area is also kept clear for NSRI (rescue) vehicles, and parking near the launch site is not permitted for general visitors.

During peak seasons such as crayfish season, the ramp can become congested, and early-morning launches are advisable to avoid delays.
