The Wynnum Creek Boat Ramp, located in the coastal Brisbane suburb of Wynnum, offers a dual-lane ramp providing direct access to Wynnum Creek. It’s a convenient and friendly launch site, particularly well-suited for small boats heading out to Green Island or Mud Island.
The ramp can be used at any time, though it's worth noting that it lacks a pontoon and can become slippery so caution is advised. With its broadside position to both tidal flow and prevailing winds, checking tide conditions ahead of time is recommended.
There is also a breakwater wall that is used by land-based fishers to cast their lines.
A designated car park for vehicles and trailers is located nearby, but space is limited on busy days, especially during weekends or holidays.
The surrounding area is well-kept and inviting. Many people come not just to launch boats, but also to enjoy the scenic setting. There’s a peaceful atmosphere, enhanced by sea breezes and the sight of boats gently bobbing in the creek. It’s a lovely place to sit and watch the tide roll in, have a picnic, cycle around the area, or relax with a coffee in hand.
Local amenities include a fish cleaning station, clean public toilets, sheltered picnic areas, benches by the bank, a playground for children, and a few food vans that cater to visitors. Birdlife is abundant, with pelicans, black swans, and seagulls often making an appearance, especially at high tide.
Wynnum Creek has a charm of its own, known for its picturesque setting and the collection of boats owned by seasoned local skippers. Whether you’re a boatie, a nature lover, or just someone looking for a quiet place to unwind, it’s a spot that offers something for everyone, locals and visitors alike.
