Ramsgate is a peaceful, waterfront suburb on the shores of Botany Bay in Sydney's St George region. With its relaxed beachside lifestyle, proximity to Sans Souci and Kogarah, and excellent local amenities including Ramsgate Beach and the Ramsgate RSL, this tightly held suburb is a favourite among families, retirees and savvy investors.
