The Turkey Beach Boat Ramp, located in the quiet coastal town of Turkey Beach in the Gladstone region, offers a well-maintained dual-lane concrete ramp with an adjacent pontoon. It’s a convenient launch point for those heading out to the reef and nearby islands, with smooth access for both recreational boaters and anglers.
The ramp is supported by a generous parking area with space for vehicles and trailers, though it tends to fill quickly on ideal boating days. Arriving early, before sunrise, is your best bet for securing a nearby spot; otherwise, you may need to park further up the road.
A short walk from the ramp, you'll find a park equipped with picnic areas, BBQ stations, and public toilets near the playground; ideal for families or anyone planning to spend the day. The beachfront is spacious and includes a designated swimming area with protective nets, making it a safe and enjoyable place for children to play in the water.
Turkey Beach is a relaxed and scenic spot, well-suited for a short getaway or a quiet afternoon. It’s perfect for those looking to enjoy nature and take a break from the busyness of everyday life. Whether you’re out for a day of fishing or just enjoying the surroundings, it’s a great place to unwind.
Do keep in mind that sandflies can be an issue, especially during summer, so insect repellent is a must. But with a bit of preparation, you’re in for a peaceful and memorable visit in a truly beautiful setting.
