BRISBANE

Islands and Beaches

Just 25 kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD lies Moreton Bay, sheltered by some of the world’s largest sand islands and fringed by picturesque seaside villages.

The rugged beauty of the islands of Moreton, North Stradbroke and Bribie are a must-see for nature-lovers. This is Mother Nature at her most generous. A place where you can explore the National Parks, daydream on a white sandy beach, scuba dive through shipwrecks... or even hand feed a wild bottlenose dolphin on Moreton Island!

The crystal clear waters surrounding the islands invite you to give up your day to swimming, sailing, surfing, snorkeling, sea kayaking or one of the many water activities available at the islands’ resorts.

Point Lookout on North Stradbroke Island, not only rewards with breathtaking views, but during the winter months, it’s also one of the best spots for land-based whale-watching in Australia.

On the main land, seaside villages attract locals and tourists alike with their beautiful landscaped foreshores and abundant facilities for picnics, barbeques and childrens’ playgrounds. The gentle waters of the bay are perfect for water skiing, jet skiing, windsurfing, and the fishing is superb!
