Dungeness, Dungeness-Lucinda Road

The Dungeness Boat Ramp sits on Dungeness Creek near the coastal town of Lucinda in North Queensland, managed by Hinchinbrook Shire Council.

It is a well-regarded launch facility offering boaters access to the Herbert River, the Enterprise Channel, and the open sea, and serves as the primary departure point for trips to Hinchinbrook Island and Pelorus Island, the latter roughly 16 kilometres offshore.

The ramp features multiple lanes and floating pontoons, with ample parking on site.

Because the surrounding waterways include shallow channels and sandbanks, boaters are advised to check tides carefully before launching, with locals generally recommending at least a one-metre tide for safe passage seaward.

The facility is reached from Lucinda by turning off at the Lucinda Point Hotel and following Dungeness Road for approximately one kilometre.
