Pumicestone Passage
The passage separates Bribie Island from the mainland. A trip on the water has spectacular views north to the Glasshouse Mountains and is a favourite spot for boaties and fishermen. A cruise on the Ferryman boat will introduce you to the natural delights of the Pumicestone Passage Marine Park. There are other boat charters and boat hire services that the Tourist Information Centre can recommend.
Beaches
Bribie is blessed with beaches. There are calm water options on the western side of the Bribie Island and lots of parks and facilities for picnics and barbeques. At Woorim Beach, on the eastern side of the island, there is usually small surf. It is a patrolled beach and perfect for a long walk along the sand.
Bribie Island National Park
Most of the island is protected as part of Bribie Island National Park. Camping on the beachfront is allowed in the National Park, as is taking your 4WD onto the beach, with a permit. Permits are available from Moreton Bay Regional Council and Bongaree Caravan Park. At holiday times, it is best to call the National Park Ranger on 07 3408 8451 to check if the sites are full.
Outdoor island activities
Bushwalking, bike riding and birdwatching are popular island activities. Bike paths run from one side of the island to the other and short bushwalking tracks can be found surrounding the Community Arts Centre on Sunderland Drive.
The Centre is also home to changing displays of painting and craft. Birdwatchers will love Buckley’s Hole Conservation Park, on the southern end of the island, Tulley Street, Bongaree. It is home to more than 190 species of migratory and wading birds.
