Sandy Bay Boat Ramp

Overview

Sandy Bay boat ramp is a beach/concrete ramp located in Oneroa. It is entered via a concrete ramp onto the beach. It is only for 4WDs and Sealegs, as you can get stuck launching off the sand.

Sandy Bay is located on the northside of Waiheke.

It is open 24 hours all year round except for 24 December to 6 February, and Good Friday to Easter Tuesday inclusive. The boat ramp is closed to all vehicle traffic with a locked bollard from 12 – 6pm and reopened at 6pm on those days. This is to ensure the safety of other beach users as the beach is often busy during this period.

There is a sign posted at the top of the boat ramp detailing the closure information.

Above the beach, you can find a small grass area with a picnic table to enjoy some yummy fish and chips. A public toilet is nearby accompanied by rubbish bins.
