Karragara Island Public Boat Ramp

The Karragarra Island Public Boat Ramp sits close to the Karragarra Ferry Terminal and not far from the historic Salt Works site. This small, single-lane ramp is best suited for launching smaller boats, with a sandy shoreline alongside for easy access.

Parking is available right near the beach, making it convenient for both boaters and day-trippers. Just a short 15-minute ferry ride from Brisbane, Karragarra Island feels like a quiet escape, offering a calm setting for families to swim, picnic, or simply relax by the water.

The foreshore is well equipped with amenities including picnic tables, BBQs, benches, toilets, and shower facilities, all located close to the beach. While there are no shops on the island, packing a picnic is part of the charm. The tide comes in during the afternoon, so timing your visit around the tides can make for the best experience.

On warm days, the beach is a lovely spot for a swim, though at low tide the foreshore stretches into a wide sandy flat before the water deepens. It’s a peaceful, family-friendly destination with a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful views; perfect for a quiet day trip from the city.
