The La Balsa Park boat ramp, located on Harbour Parade in Buddina, is a favorite launch spot for boats, kayaks, and paddleboards, offering easy access to the Mooloolah River and beyond to open waters. As one of the busiest boat ramps on the Sunshine Coast, it got a major upgrade in 2024, now featuring a two-lane concrete ramp and a floating pontoon that makes retrieval and launching a whole lot easier. Plus, a new revetment wall helps protect the ramp from erosion.

The revamp was designed to improve access to the Mooloolah River while easing congestion at other boat ramps nearby. You’ll also find plenty of handy amenities, including rubbish bins, fish cleaning stations, and a dedicated wash-down area to keep your gear clean after a day on the water.

Parking is well-planned, with ample space for both cars and trailers. And if you're making a day of it, the nearby park has everything you need; playgrounds, exercise equipment, shaded picnic areas with tables, toilets, and even off-street parking. You can find pelicans and even stingrays. Whether you're heading out for a fishing trip or just enjoying some time on the water, La Balsa Park boat ramp is a great spot to start your adventure!
