Main Beach, Muriel Henchman Drive

Main Beach at Muriel Henchman Drive sits on The Spit in Main Beach on the Gold Coast, adjacent to the well-known Muriel Henchman Park boat ramp complex.

The beach runs along the entire length of the ramp area, providing a sandy foreshore suitable for beaching small vessels and general recreation. The location offers direct water access to the Broadwater and the Seaway.

The broader park precinct recently underwent significant upgrades completed in late 2024, including improved launching facilities, expanded trailer and car parking, new public amenities, shade shelters, and landscaping.

The area is a popular access point for both motorised and non-motorised watercraft, and also includes an off-leash dog exercise area. It can experience heavy traffic during weekends and summer periods.
