A Gold Coast car chase with an allegedly stolen vehicle has ended in a crash that was captured on dashcam footage.

Police allege a 31-year-old man stole a motorbike from Watson Esplanade in Surfer's Paradise, placing it on the back of a ute at about 6am today.

He then allegedly drove to Biggera Waters where he attempted to steal a jetski before the ute became wedged between two concrete pylons.
