Plan a North Stradbroke Island Day Trip (Full Guide)

Are you looking for a brilliant Island destination from Brisbane? Well, guess what! Its so easy to plan a North Stradbroke Island Day trip, and you can tailor things to see around the amount of time you have.

As a local to Brisbane, I’ve visited Straddie heaps of times over the years. I love the relaxed vibe, the friendly locals and how easy it is to get around. You can plan out your day, or just rock up and see where the road takes you. Either way, you sure to have a blast.

So, read on to find out how to get there and all the things you can to see and do.

Plan a North Stradbroke Island Day Trip from Brisbane

North Stradbroke Island or Minjerribah is about 30 kilometres off the coast of Cleveland in Brisbane. It’s a sub-tropical island with crystal clear waters, surfing beaches and Aboriginal Heritage (Quandamooka people).

Not only that, but it’s listed as the world’s second largest sand island (after Fraser Island) with a length of about 38 kilometres and 11 kilometres wide.

Obviously, if you have your own boat or Jet ski, you can visit the island in your own time schedule. It’s certainly possible and easy to do on your own, but most of us don’t have that option, which means you’ll need the ferry transfer.

Travel by Ferry!

Sealink South East Queensland  will provide you a vehicle or a passenger ferry. The trip takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and they have ferries leaving almost every hour throughout the day. This can be one of the cheapest options, especially of you’re using the public bus on the Island.

The ferry departs from Cleveland on the south side of Brisbane. 12 Emmett Drive, Cleveland (Toondah Harbour), and you’ll arrive at the Dunwich Boat Harbour. The prices will vary on passenger numbers, time of day, and vehicle size. So, It’s best to check the website for your specific circumstances.

Organised tour!

If you don’t want to organise your own Day trip or don’t have your own transport? Then, take a look at the tours below leaving from Brisbane City. It is possible to get them from the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast, but they require extra travel time to get to the Cleveland ferry.

➡  Compare tours from Brisbane HERE with Get your Guide, or HERE with Viator.

How to Get around?

The Island is 18 kilometres just to travel from Dunwich to Point Lookout, so even a pushbike is a little limiting to see all of the sites. So, some kind of transport will be need which include:

4 Wheel Drive Vehicle

If you’re wanting to drive on any beach, you will need a four-wheel drive vehicle, along with a permit . This will open up the entire Island to you and things to do, as well as the beach camping options. and if you don’t have you’re own, you can hire one on the Island.

Main beach stretches 38 kilometres from Point Lookout to the south side of the Island. More importantly, you need to look up the Islands Tide Times  to ensure you don’t get caught on high tide. In fact, the beach driving rules state that you need to be off the beaches outside of 2-3 hours from high tide.

Flinders Beach is the north side beach you can drive on, which is only 8 kilometres long. This is the only other beach with 4 wheel drive access, and more popular as a lower surf side.

2 Wheel Drive Vehicle or Scooter

The main highlights on the island will be ok to see with a two-wheel-drive vehicle. This is because the main roads are sealed bitumen and you can over a small car or hire a scooter on the Island.

Public Bus Service

Unlike the nearby Moreton Island , if you have no vehicle of your own, then you can rely on public transportation. They will transport you to and from Dunwich, Amity Point, or Point Lookout. This includes several other stops in between and along the way. The service runs about every hour throughout the day, and you can find the  Prices and Timetable HERE ..

Check out my Photo Gallery for sample tourism images needed for websites, blog posts, magazines articles, Marketing and/or Advertisement’s.

17 Best Things to do when you’re there?

There are over 2000 people living on the Island, so you can imagine that the area is built up. Mostly revolving around tourism, you have plenty of accommodation types, along with grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, and local stores with arts and crafts.

Straddie is definitely worth visiting for the beaches, the wildlife, and the best island paradise so close to Brisbane. It offers surfing & wading beaches to exploring the local crafts of a small country town. But, check out some of the options below!

➡  Compare All tours for North Stradbroke Island from Brisbane HERE with Get your Guide, Or find others available HERE with Viator.

1. Amity Point

Amity Point faces west over to Brisbane, and therefore, the waters are calm and suitable for some low-key swimming. There is a Pier where you will see people fishing and a secure, netted-off section for safe swimming.

2. Myora Springs

Myora Springs is a local freshwater stream just outside a few kilometres out of Dunwich. A small car park is available on the main road heading to Amity Point or Point Lookout.

You can visit Myora Springs or “Moongalba” for a quiet rest break or an opportunity to swim in the freshwater before it’s released into the ocean. Nestled in among the trees and low-hanging branches, this would be a great place to sit on a floatation device and relax.

3. Brown Lake

If you manage to get this gem on your own, then you won’t regret your visit. Brown Lake is aptly named due to the brown colour of the water, stained by the surrounding tea trees. It’s freshwater with a white sandy beach entry.

It can be accessed by a 2 wheel drive vehicle, with only 1 kilometre on a dirt road and car park. Although, keep in mind, there are some big holes that you might have to manoeuvre around.

4. Blue Lake

The Blue lake might look like an excellent place for swimming, yet it’s just for viewing or enjoying the hike. It’s roughly 5 kilometres return along a white sandy path to see this one. It’s not that challenging and can be completed by anyone with a moderate level of fitness.

5. Point Lookout

You won’t want to miss this area and where you’ll see most of the tourists and have most of the things to do. Point Lookout or “Mooloomba” is a rocky headland and where you will find the Gorge Walk, Main beach, or visiting all the retail shops and cafes. There is a local Surf club on the cliff, with exceptional views for afternoon drinks.

6. Swimming in Rock Pools

The rock pools are best to access coming into a low tide and when the water has been left behind. (Don’t forget to check out the Tide times). To get there, you need to park in the Deadman’s Beach Foreshore and walk around to Frenchman’s Beach. There are several rock pools on the corner of the Island, in between the two beaches.

7. Sand Tobogganing

This sand tobogganing section is found on Deadman’s Beach foreshore, and you will need to bring your own toboggan board. I did see some people had left or brought down some cardboard but thinking that wouldn’t last too long.

8. Whale Watching / Turtles or Dolphin Watching

There are a few sections or lookout areas around Point Lookout where you can see passing Whales. The season runs from roughly May to November each year, making it possible to see humpback whales in the distance. Alternatively, other creatures like Turtles, Manta Rays, or even Dolphins can also be viewed at a closer distance.

9. Hang out at the many Beaches

You have plenty of beach options starting with Cylinder Beach, Deadman’s Beach, Frenchman’s Beach, or South Gorge beach, all available for swimming. Additionally, on the western side, there is always an opportunity for beach time at Dunwich and Amity Point.

10. Kangaroo watching

Aussie Kangaroos can be seen all over the Island, and you’re asked to be careful on the roads and be on the lookout. I found them common in the early hours, where they will be looking for food around the Gorge walk.

Other Wildlife on land include(but not limited to) Koalas, bats, kangaroo’s, wallaby’s and bandicoots. Or Less found creatures could be the New Zealand fur seals, dugongs, mice and water rats.

11. North Gorge Walk / South Gorge Walk

The Gorge Walk is a fantastic addition to your exploration of Point Lookout and the rocky headland. The 1 kilometre loop is on a formed boardwalk track and meanders through the North Gorge and the South gorge.

You can park at either end, walk one way to the opposite end, and use the walkway back to your vehicle. The South Gorge has a large car park, a bathroom, and a park with picnic tables. Not that it makes no difference to start at the South or North end first, and you need to watch out for turtles and dolphins in the water.

12. Surfing or Body boarding

If you’re into Surfing or bodyboarding, then this is your closest option to Brisbane. There are options to Surf on the eastern side, near Point Lookout. Alternatively, on the Northern side, at Cylinder Beach or Deadman’s Beach. Although, If you’re new to Surfing, then there are options to  learn to surf .

13. 4-Wheel Driving on the Beach

There are only two beaches (Main Beach and Flinders Beach), and either will need a  permit to drive on the beach . Once you purchase online, you can pick up the permit and car sticker from the Adder Rock Campground reception.

• Flinders Beach is the shorter of the two and covering the Northern side of the Island.
• Main Beach runs almost the whole length of the Island, on the eastern side.

14. Fishing

The western side faces the calm waters of Moreton Bay and surrounding Amity Point. Here you’ll find a popular fishing point with serene bays fringed by mangroves, as well as the pier. Alternatively, you can head anywhere around the rocky headlands of Point Lookout.

15. Watching a Sunrise / Sunset

It’s so easy to get from one side of the Island to the other. This makes it great to plan out your beautiful Sunset or Sunrise spots. The photo below was taken while walking the South Gorge boardwalk and the sun rising above the horizon. But, I’m told that Amity Point is perfect for Sunsets on the western side.
