Pukerua Bay

Pukerua Bay Map Link

Access

The access road is not suitable for anything large. There are parts where there is only one way passage and it is steep. The ramp itself is for small craft only and is usable to mainly 4WD vehicles.

Parking

There isn't much parking available and the turning area for anyone with vehicle and trailer is limited to a bay at the end of the road.

Characteristics

This has limited accessability and is at the far end of the Kapiti Coastline Beaches. Smooth sea launching and retrieval only. Knowledge of the bay itself would be an advantage - as it has rock hazards.

Raumati South Ramp off Jeep Road

Access

Off The Esplanade Raumati South and opposite Jeep Road
JeepRoad

This is a recently (circa early 2012) reconstructed ramp made of concrete with a reasonable slope for most vehicles. If wet a 4WD is recommended. It is designed for accessway to the beach sand for beach launching rather than launching off the actual ramp. It is not recommended for launch or retrieval at high tide as the water punches up through the ramp entrance making it risky for damage to self and boat.

Parking

Principally for individual cars but there could be room for one or two vehicles with trailers. It might also be possible to park out on The Esplanade itself. Depends on the popularity on the day.

Characteristics

A new and well made ramp. This end of the beach is best used when the weather and sea conditions are slight.
