Just a short ferry ride from Cleveland, North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah), meaning “place of many beaches,” rises from Moreton Bay with rolling sand dunes, ocean headlands and vast stretches of coastline shaped by salt air and the living culture of the Quandamooka people.

From the whale-watching cliffs of Point Lookout to the still, tea-tree waters of Brown Lake, it’s a region of striking contrasts that captures the sun, sand and wildlife that make coastal Queensland unforgettable.
