BOATING
Excellent all-weather and all-tides ramps for boat launching and retrieval
are provided at Port Welshpool and Port Albert. Good launching ramps
are also available at McLoughlins Beach and Manns Beach, although difficulties
may be experienced in adverse weather or low tide. Beach launching for
dingies and small boats is possible at Robertsons Beach. Boat-based camping
is provided for at several localities.
FISHING
Shore-based fishing depends heavily on land access. The most
popular spots are at jetties at Port Welshpool, Port Albert, Robertsons
Beach, Manns Beach, and McLoughlins Beach. Surf fishing is excellent in
the channels at Woodside Beach and Reeves Beach, which are good access
points to the Ninety Mile Beach. For further information contact the Natural
Resources and Environment office at Yarram on 5182 5155.

for 11.3 km from Stockyard Point at the Port Albert foreshore right through

several places to stop and view the birdlife of the Nooraminga marine and
Coastal Park. Information is available from the Department of Natural Resources
