BUFFALO CREEK BOAT RAMP

Public BBQ

A tidal boat ramp on Buffalo Creek at Lee Point, wide enough for two vehicles and a popular launch for Shoal Bay, Lee Point and the Fenton Patches. It rewards local knowledge: the channel runs only 0.6 to 1.0 metres, so work a tide of 3.7 metres or higher, follow the mangroves and then the red markers, and expect the current to push a boat off the trailer on retrieval. At low tide boats get stranded, and on a big high the car park itself can go under. Fishing is excellent, with bait fish for the cast net, salmon, bream and barramundi. Birdwatchers come for chestnut rails, rainbow pittas, mangrove gerygones and waders. There are no toilets. Crocodiles are present, and a sign warns against eating fish caught here.
