The Saunders Beach Ramp
is one of the ramps accessible in Althaus Creek, one of the many small creeks
located to the North of Townsville.
The single lane made
with quality concrete is easy to launch for small boats towed by any standard
car. Low tides are considered reasonable here and not a big concern.
The car park near the
ramp is gravel, and there is a short section of gravel road on the way in.
There are no other amenities at the ramp, however, Saunders Beach Park is not
far away. In the park, you will find public toilets, BBQs, and seating. The
beach is largely untouched and visitors frequently have the beach to
themselves. They can take nature walks, drop a line to fish, picnic on the sandy
beach, and swim in the waters. There are restaurants where visitors can eat a
meal.
