Saunders Beach Boat Ramp sits on the south bank of Althaus Creek at the end of Boat Ramp Road, off Saunders Beach Road past Atoll Street, north of Townsville. It is a state-owned facility managed by Townsville City Council.

The Bluewater Boat Ramp lies across the creek on the opposite bank. The ramp is a single-lane concrete structure with a 10-degree slope, rated to carry loads up to 5 tonnes, and is served by one pontoon. Parking accommodates up to 15 cars with trailers.

Access is tide-limited, so launching conditions vary with the tidal cycle. The ramp provides practical access to Althaus Creek and its surrounding network of small waterways.
