boat ramps at Caloundra.

[Dubbzy]

I had this info saved on my pc on the 5 main boat ramps at Caloundra.

1. Bell's Creek - (Quite shallow on low tide,Multi lane,not too bad in windy conditions, sandy beach either side of ramp great yabby banks adjacent.

2. Military Jetty - Two single ramps very open to the elements, ramps had work done on them a while of ago , caution with the sand bags along each side of ramp as they are getting barnacles so watch the duco on the boat.

3.Powerboat Club - This would be the most popular ramp for the area, It has 4 lanes, good parking, sandy beach either side, It's not to bad in most conditions however a bad South Easterly can cause havoc.

4. Sailing Club - This ramp is the closest to the Bar for outside trips good deep water, single lane, not a great deal of parking, once again this ramp is affected by SE wind, and the current gets quite strong in this area, it is down on the corner close to the Coast Guard at Caloundra.

5. Memorial Ramp - This ramp is quite unforgiving you have rocks either side, it is only a single lane, the SE wind makes this a dangerous ramp , however this ramp is great for anyone who doesn't like crossing bars because it's located out on the point east of King's Beach, very limited parking. ( You normally only see aluminum boats using this one)

That might be why it's called Memorial

yep thats forsure much better and safer idea to travel down from Mooloolaba as the bar in Caloundra can be unforgiving too

Kings Beach Boat ramp is a great one to use (for us kayakers). Although when a good swell rolled in and there were surfers at the ramp, I often wondered if we were crazy.

Regardless, a good easy access ramp to use

How long can you leave a trailer parked while you are out in the water ?

For as long as you're out there.
