BRIBIE ISLAND

Remember those carefree holidays as a child playing on the beach in the soft white sand and having locally caught fish and chips for lunch – that is still what Bribie has to offer plus so much more.  Bribie Island can probably boast one of the safest swimming beaches in Queensland with miles of white sand, protection from large surf by Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island and a highly skilled surf life saving club.

 
Protected by Environmental, National and Marine Parks, 86% of Bribie Island will remain unchanged, ensuring the natural beauty will remain for future generations to enjoy. Bribie Island is home to an amazing array of wildlife – dolphin, dugong and turtle cruise the calm waters of the Pumicestone Passage with the majestic Glass House Mountains as the backdrop. 

Today, Bribie Island has changed from the sleepy fishing island that many Queenslanders remember coming to as child. There are three  shopping centres, coffee shops, great restaurants, modern contemporary 4.5 star accommodation and still the best fish and chip shops serving delicious locally caught fish and seafood. You can still camp within the National Park along the surf beach (in designated areas) or walk through protected heathlands. Please contact Queensland Parks and Wildlife for a permit to access the National/Recreational Park by 4wd vehicle and or camp along the foreshore.

Weddings have become extemely popular here on the island due to the proximity to Brisbane, stunning beach and foreshore settings adjacent to  professional venue locations. Please check the web site www.islandweddings.com.au for more information. 

Welcome to Bribie Island Tourism 2012, we look forward to seeing you soon.
