Main Beach, Waterways Drive
Main Beach, Waterways Drive
Located in Proud Park on Waterways Drive, this two-lane concrete boat ramp sits on the south bank of the Nerang River in Main Beach and is managed by Gold Coast City Council.
A floating pontoon sits between the two lanes, making solo launches straightforward, and an additional pontoon on the eastern side serves fishing, docking, and loading needs. The ramp provides direct access to both the Broadwater and the Nerang River.
On-site parking for cars and trailers is available along Waterways Drive, accommodating around 21 vehicles. A sandy beach and grassy parkland adjoin the facility.
The ramp can be busy on weekends and during summer, and road traffic in the area tends to increase later in the day.
