Stradbroke Island – Straddie as it’s locally known – is just southeast of Brisbane in Queensland and is the world’s second largest sand island. Its main industries are tourism and sand mining, and there’s only a couple of thousand people who live on it, some of them Aboriginal. There are two Stradbroke islands, north and south, and they once formed one landmass.
A storm in 1896 separated the two and most of the tourism is on the more populated north island. South Stradbroke is mainly rainforest and wetland, while North Stradbroke has a developed tourism industry that attracts many people for a relaxing beach holiday.
There are many resorts around North Stradbroke, some luxurious and others simple cabins by the sea for a perfect fishing and snorkelling holiday with the family. The main areas are the three small towns: Point Lookout, Dunwich and Amity Point. You can even watch whales from your Stradbroke Island accommodation, at Samarinda Drive in Point Lookout.
You can also stay on South Stradbroke Island, including in eco cabins surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Couran Cove on the south island is a good place to stay if you’re after a waterfront villa holiday, and apartments are also available in the area.
Stradbroke Island – the collective name for the north and south islands – is rightly billed as nature’s perfect wonderland. With excellent transport links, and only an hour from Brisbane International Airport, it offers the chance to get away from it all by not really going that far at all.

What to see and do in Stradbroke Island ?
Stradbroke Island is a suburb of Brisbane, and has a sub-tropical climate that gives it hot summers of up to 28 degrees Celsius and mild winters. Of North Stradbroke’s three towns, the main one is Dunwich. It has a museum – North Stradbroke Island Historical Museum – and a number of medical centres and pharmacies.
There are five beaches on the north island. They’re popular for surfing, fishing and, of course, swimming. The biggest lake on the island is Blue Lake in Blue Lake National Park, where camping is not permitted.
Scuba diving is a popular activity, and the waters off the island have some of the best dive sites along the Queensland coastline. Among the many creatures you can see in these waters are rays, turtles and various types of shark.
Stradbroke Island attracts whale watchers from May to July, when thousands of Humpback whales migrate north to breed in warmer waters, and from August to October, when they travel back with their calves. A good place to view this incredible event is at Point Lookout, and you can also see dolphins and turtles.
For golf lovers, there’s North Stradbroke Island Golf Course, which is shared with indigenous wildlife such as kangaroos and kolas and is just a five-minute drive from Dunwich.
A great way to see the island is to go on an adventure tour, which you can do on four-wheel-drive vehicles capable of navigating all the terrain.
Beach yoga is held at Home Beach every day during school holiday time and at weekends, starting around 8am. Just find a spot, stretch and relax – no experience required.
For eating out, there’s all sorts of cafés, restaurants and pubs, and you’ll find that there’s a lot of delicious seafood on offer. A lovely way to finish off a spectacular day on Stradbroke Island is fine-dining at a restaurant looking out to the ocean.
