The Logan River Boat Ramp, located in Alberton, at the northern edge of the Gold Coast, is a quiet and practical launching spot into the Logan River. It features a wide single-lane concrete ramp with a floating pontoon, making it easy to load and launch. The adjacent jetty is well equipped, with motion-sensor lighting and space to tie up briefly or cast a line from the platform. The location is particularly convenient for anyone heading toward the Southern Moreton Bay Islands from the southern side of the Logan.

This ramp is well suited to larger boats, offering drive-around access for easy manoeuvering. Its relatively secluded setting makes it a good choice for those new to boating or jet skiing, as there’s less traffic to contend with. One thing to note: at high tide, there’s no real beach on either side of the ramp, which can make launching or retrieving a little trickier.

There’s plenty of parking available for vehicles with trailers, along with clean public toilets, rubbish bins, BBQ facilities, and an undercover picnic table. There’s also a small playground up the hill and a sandy patch where kids can play while the adults fish or relax.  It’s a peaceful area that’s well maintained and family-friendly.

Fishing here is productive, especially if you time it right with the tides. The outgoing tide can be strong, which may make fishing difficult with more than a couple of people on board, but if you catch it at the right moment, species like bream, snapper, whiting, flathead, threadfin, and even sharks can be found in the area.

All in all, it’s a well-rounded, quiet spot for boating, fishing, and enjoying a laid-back day by the water.
