Transport to WaterMarks
Where is the best place to park?
Parking is limited at Church Point and shared with offshore residents. Avoid hassles and park at a WaterMarks park and ride. You will be dropped off at the ferry wharf. See more on the park and ride.
Where do I buy a ferry ticket?
You can buy your offshore travel ticket in advance online. This includes return shuttle bus from a WaterMarks park and ride, free parking, and your day on the ferry. Each ticket purchased is for either Saturday or Sunday. The choice is yours.
Tickets will be available at Church Point on the weekend, but WaterMarks is a popular event and there will be queues. We encourage you to buy in advance. Find out more about transport tickets.
How much does transport to WaterMarks cost?
Transport tickets cost $25 for adults, $15 for concession or children aged 5 – 16 years. This includes return shuttle bus from a WaterMarks park and ride, and your day on the ferry. Find out more about transport tickets.
Unfortunately no. The event and event transport will be extremely busy. It involves coach shuttles, ferries and many expected passengers. Please leave your dog at home.
