The Lands End Boat Ramp at Runaway Bay is a small, single-lane facility providing direct access to Biggera Creek, making it most suitable for smaller vessels. It offers convenient entry to the Broadwater (provided your vessel can clear the nearby bridge) or an enjoyable day navigating the local canal network or heading further out toward the ocean.
The ramp benefits from generally calm water conditions in Biggera Creek and is mostly sheltered from the wind, which makes launching and retrieving straightforward under typical conditions. However, due to its sheltered location and ease of use, the ramp can become quite busy on weekends.
Boaters should be aware of a low-clearance bridge near the ramp that can present challenges during high tide. Additionally, a nearby sandbank and shallow areas can make access difficult for boats at low tide, though conditions are more forgiving for jet skis.
Parking at the ramp is limited, and it’s not uncommon for users to resort to parking in surrounding streets, which can cause congestion. Despite this, the area is pleasant, with a grassy space near the shoreline where people often wait comfortably.
A toilet block is located beside the ramp, and there are benches available for public use. The area is also known for its birdlife, particularly pelicans, which are a frequent and familiar presence. Visitors can also find a fishing charter and a butcher's shop across the ramp.
Overall, Lands End Boat Ramp offers a scenic and functional launch point with easy access to local waterways, best enjoyed during quieter times of the week.
