right at the pointy bit!
fair few sailors there today, should be the same tomorrow!
Just drive in to Wellington Point. Drive straight down the main street and follow your nose there isn't any turns you have to make. When you get to the cafe on your right just near the speed hump you are there.
Here's a link to Google maps.

There are 2 main launching spots, one on the West side opposite the takeaway shop to sail in NE, N, NW & SW. Bit of a walk at low tide.
The other is around the corner on the SE side, launch from the second ramp south of the pier; good in a SE. Watch out for the rock plateau on a low tide about 500m out (lost many fins on that thing). If you stay in the channel marked by the leads you'll be right.
Parking is a bit of a premium on weekends these days so get there early or be prepared to wait around for a park, or park on the other side and walk your gear round.
