Launching a kayak at Campbells Cove
Campbell’s Cove is a great spot to launch a kayak. Its located towards Werribee and Wyndham Harbour at the end of Campbells cove road. This is a long narrow unsealed dirt road that drives directly past the huts along the beach. At the end is a small unsealed carpark which can handle about 30 cars. Parking is free and there is plenty of room to park your trailer. This car park does have some strange things happening in the early morning so do take care if you are on your own and make sure your car and trailer are locked. Access to the water is very easy through a timber pathway that leads yo directly to the beach. At the end of the timber pathway is a small drop which can be quite awkward to lower and raise your kayak on especially when you are on your own.
Launching at low tide can be quite tricky and you will need to drag your kayak out a fairway. During the rising tide, the entrance can be full of seaweed which is a little unpleasant on bare feet. However, the fishing here is very good. Flathead, pinkie, snapper, snook, gummy sharks and squid are common catches without needing to venture too far out.
