The Bells Creek Boat Ramp, located within Keith Hill Park in Golden Beach on the Sunshine Coast, is a well-designed three-lane concrete ramp that offers convenient access to the Pumicestone Passage. It’s a quiet, sheltered launch site that locals often regard as a bit of a hidden gem.

The ramp is wide and easy to use, with minimal wait times and sandy areas on either side for temporarily mooring your boat. It’s a safe and simple place to launch, particularly suited for smaller vessels and personal watercraft. However, the water becomes quite shallow at low tide, which makes the ramp less ideal for larger boats. On the plus side, it’s typically less windy here compared to more exposed ramps in the region.

There is ample car and trailer parking, which can fill up pretty fast on busy days.

On-site amenities include a fish cleaning station and rubbish bins. Access to toilets, lighting, drinking water, and picnic areas are available in the adjacent park.

The surrounding parkland is spacious and well-maintained, offering grassy areas with picnic tables, shaded BBQ facilities, a children’s playground, and walking paths, perfect for a relaxed day by the water.

The beachside walking and cycling path from Golden Beach to Caloundra adds another layer of appeal, and the peaceful surroundings make it a nice place to unwind, whether you're boating, fishing, or just spending time outdoors with family and friends. Do keep some insect repellent handy, especially if you’re staying into the evening.

This spot is also located at the northern edge of the Moreton Bay Marine Park, where Bells Creek meets the Pumicestone Passage. The area is known for its birdlife (especially pelicans and black swans) and offers a scenic, family-friendly atmosphere for fishing, walking, or simply enjoying the view.
