South Stradbroke Island, Queensland

The natural reserve that is South Stradbroke Island is located just a 40-minute ferry ride from the Gold Coast. The calm inner waterways on one side, virtually untouched native bushland in the centre and 22 kilometres of surf beach on the other side are a make it a unique place with huge potential for a variety of activities. The surf beach offers views of the Gold Coast, and often sneaky glimpses of the shy and majestic humpback whales migrating north to breed during whale watching season, which starts in June and runs through to late October.

South Stradbroke Island is in an ideal location to take advantage of a variety of water sports. Action-seekers can enjoy surfing, stand up paddleboards, water park, kayak, beach fishing, sports centre, weekend kids activities, 4WD trips, speed boat rides and jet-skiing. For sun worshipers, South Stradbroke Island is one of the few places on the east coast of Australia where one can watch the sunrise over the water in the east and set over the water in the west.
