Carrara Boat Ramp sits on the Nerang River in Carrara on Queensland's Gold Coast, offering direct access to one of the region's most popular waterways.

The river winds through numerous Gold Coast suburbs all the way to The Spit, making it a scenic route for cruising, skiing, and wakeboarding.

The ramp itself is large but better suited to smaller boats, as parking is tight — limited to roughly six or seven car-and-trailer spaces directly in front of the ramp.

The bank is rocky rather than sandy, and the confined layout can make trailer maneuvering challenging for less experienced boaters. It sits well inland, meaning a longer run to the Seaway and Wavebreak Island.

Considered more of a locals' ramp, it tends to be busier than its limited facilities might suggest.
