The Tingalpa Creek Boat Ramp, located in Thorneside, a coastal suburb within Redland, is a modest single-lane ramp that offers straightforward launching for smaller vessels. It's best suited for use during high tide, as a large sandbar near the creek’s mouth can make navigation tricky at lower tides.
The area is generally well protected from the elements, though wind and tidal conditions can affect launching and retrieval. It's a good option for launching small boats, kayaks, canoes, or surf skis.
There is a sealed trailer parking area nearby, with space for around 11 trailers. While adequate on quieter days, it can become congested during busy periods, and some users report limited parking and occasional queues when returning to the ramp.
Despite this, the location is peaceful and well-lit, with public toilets conveniently close by. It’s also a pleasant spot for fishing, popular with both adults and children. Species commonly caught include bream, whiting, and flathead.
Overall, Tingalpa Creek offers a quiet, well-sheltered launching point with decent facilities; ideal for a relaxed day out on the water or a bit of fishing close to home.
