Whyte Island Boat Ramp

Located near the mouth of the Brisbane River at Whyte Island, this is one of the busiest boat ramps on Brisbane's south side. The facility features a two-lane concrete ramp with a pontoon for loading and unloading.

At low tide, a small sandy area to the south provides an alternative when the pontoon is occupied, though a rocky shoreline makes this unusable at high tide.

The ramp can be difficult to use in strong southerly winds, and boaters navigating the nearby railway bridge should be mindful of limited clearance at high tide. The site is monitored by Port of Brisbane video surveillance.

The Queensland Government has undertaken an upgrade of the ramp to improve safety, functionality, and accessibility, including reconstruction of the four-lane ramp, replacement of the floating walkway, and installation of new piles.

The ramp serves as a popular gateway to both the Brisbane River system and Moreton Bay.
