Spoilbank Marina
The impressive new Spoilbank Marina at Port Hedland is now complete providing modern, state-of-the-art facilities that rate amongst the best on the WA coastline.
The Spoilbank Marina is a new marine hub for the local community and visitors to enjoy, with 22 new cyclone-rated floating boat pens, a four-lane boat ramp and a fishing platform and cleaning facilities.
The new larger boat ramp, opened in January 2024, is accessible at all tides and together with the new boat pens they significantly improve access and safety for the boating community.
