The Tally Boat Ramp, located in Murlong Park in the coastal suburb of Palm Beach on the Gold Coast, features a single-lane concrete ramp with a floating pontoon. It’s a well-designed ramp with a gentle slope, making it easy to launch a wide range of watercraft. The adjacent pontoon also provides helpful access for those who may find it difficult to board a boat directly from the water’s edge. Take note that PWCs are not allowed to launch here.
The ramp leads into the calm waters of Tallebudgera Creek, a popular destination for boating, tubing, and kayaking. On weekends, especially in good weather, the area is often lively with activity, and the limited trailer parking can fill up quickly.
The nearby beach is small but pleasant, offering gentle, shallow waters ideal for families. There’s a playground for children, clean BBQ facilities, toilets, and even drinking water and hot water available for making tea or coffee. It’s a great spot for a mix of recreation, whether you’re fishing, paddling, boating, or just relaxing by the water.
No matter how busy this place gets, it remains a favourite for locals and visitors alike—a peaceful place to unwind and take a break from the pace of city life.
