Hanging Rock Boat Ramp sits on the shores of the Clyde River estuary in Batemans Bay, just east of the town centre. This well-developed public ramp doubles as a convenient shore-entry snorkelling launch point into calm, sheltered waters. The surrounding rocky reef structures near the ramp attract small fish and offer easy exploration for beginners. Being part of the Batemans Bay Snorkelling Trail and within the Batemans Marine Park, the site provides clear, protected conditions ideal for families. The adjacent marina and nearby rock formations give the area a sheltered, scenic backdrop while keeping water access simple and safe.
