Penguin Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Heres some pics of Long Bay Ramp in the Eastern Suburbs. LOCATION: Fishermans rd, Malabar NSW CONDITION OF RAMP/ACCESS:One lane concrete ramp, with a 90deg right hand bend at the bottom. Average condition. Surf rescue launch their boat here, as do other local fisherman. The beauty of this ramp is that if you drop your boat in the water here you are in the Tasman sea, no having to go through Syd Harbour or Botany heads. I would recomend that you dont launch here in a big South Easterly swell as it can get rough at times. PARKING/FACILITIES:Reasonable amount of parking as a lot of people dont know about this ramp. There are no facilities here, but thers are toilets, bbqs and a childrens play ground about 150mtrs down the road at Malabar beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) The tricky bit is the 90deg turn into the ocean at the bottom of the ramp, u dont launch straight ahead onto the rocks that u see at the end of the ramp. If u look closely at the 3rd pic down, u can see the concrete ramp disapearing down under the water after the bend. I have marked it out here. penguin Edited August 1, 2009 by johnno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
