North Stradbroke Island
If you’re in need of an island getaway for a day, North Stradbroke Island has the sun, sand and serenity you re looking for.
Just 50 minutes drive from Brisbane’s CBD, a short ferry ride from Cleveland will take you straight to Straddie. You can explore the beach in your 4WD before heading to Amity Point for a relaxing swim in the enclosed bay – where dolphins are regular visitors to the jetty.
If you’re after some waves, head to Home Beach for a surf before grabbing some lunch at the Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel overlooking Point Lookout.
