pelican park boat ramp

The Pelican Park Boat Ramp, located along Hornibrook Esplanade in Clontarf, Moreton Bay, offers a four-lane concrete ramp with a central pontoon, all protected by a breakwater wall. It provides easy and direct access to the waters of Bramble Bay and Moreton Bay, making it a convenient launch point for both casual boaters and fishing enthusiasts.

The ramp area is clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with ample parking available for cars and trailers. Nearby amenities include public toilets with hot showers, shaded picnic tables, open grassy areas, and BBQ stations, which are all ideal for visitors to spend a fun afternoon with family and friends. The playground is fenced and family-friendly, and at low tide, a wide stretch of sand is exposed where kids can explore and discover small sea creatures.

Pelican Park itself is expansive and versatile, perfect for outdoor activities such as biking, jogging, or simply enjoying the sea breeze. It’s also a popular spot for picnics and gatherings. The views across the water and toward the bridge are particularly pleasant, especially during sunset.

While the area is highly regarded for its accessibility and setup, some visitors have noted that illegal camping can occasionally take up space in the parking area. Despite this, Pelican Park remains a favourite destination for locals and visitors alike to spend a great day out on the water.
