Discover the Mitchell Park Boat Ramp, also known as the Broadwaters Parklands Boat Ramp, nestled along Marine Parade in Southport. This vibrant spot is the ultimate destination for anyone eager to make the most of a day on the water! Whether you’re into kitesurfing, windsurfing, jetskiing, or simply cruising in your boat, you’ll find everything you need right here.

With a 4-lane concrete ramp, launching your small to large boats and PWCs into the Broadwater and out to the seaway mouth is a breeze. Just a heads-up for the adventurers with boats over 6 meters—low tide can make things a bit tricky, and some boaters have noted that the ramp isn’t as steep in those conditions. Keep an eye out for sand buildup, too. There are convenient jetties on either side of the ramp for docking, although some boaters might find it a tad high during low tide.

While you might enjoy the tranquility of an empty ramp on weekdays, weekends can bring the thrill of a bustling aquatic scene! Just remember, as the tide recedes, shallow areas in the channel can pose a challenge; you wouldn’t want your boat to get stuck, so check the tide conditions before you head out.

The water here is a stunning shade of blue and pleasantly warm, with a sandy bottom that’s perfect for beginners and PWC owners. You’ll find plenty of protected spots where you can kick back, relax on a sandbar, or wade in the inviting waist-deep water. Just keep your eyes peeled for anchored boats and other power craft.

When it comes to parking, you’ll be relieved to know that there’s ample space for both cars and trailers. Just be prepared, as those spots fill up fast on busy days.

After your water adventures, the adjacent Mitchell Park offers a perfect setting for a delightful day of picnicking, barbecuing, walking, or playing. Kids will love the playground, too! Plus, nearby, you’ll find a charming tourist park and even a boat tour service for a romantic evening cruise.
