Mutton Cove Slipway

Mutton Cove Slipway is a free, publicly accessible boat ramp managed by Plymouth City Council, situated on the waterfront in the Devonport area.

The slipway is approximately 7 metres wide and features a steep granite cobbled surface that can become slippery, making four-wheel-drive vehicles the preferred choice for trailer launching and recovery.

Access to the water is available roughly three to four hours either side of high tide, as the harbour dries out at spring low water.

Boaters are advised not to attempt launching or recovery by car and trailer when the water level has dropped below the end of the slipway. The surrounding area can be busy with pedestrians, so care is needed when launching.
