BOATING
Excellent all-weather and all-tides ramps for boat launching
and retrieval are provided at Port Welshpool and Port Albert. Good

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.

points to the Ninety Mile Beach. For further information contact the Natural
