Just an hour outside the Brisbane CBD, lies North Stradbroke Island which is known for its beautiful beaches and tropical seclusion.

Accommodation on the island can facilitate whatever the budget of the holidaymaker dictates. Whether it is bungalows, luxurious beachfront homes and apartments or even camping on the beach - the island is open to all comers.

The waterfront can cater to all sorts of hobbies from boating to swimming off the north island.

Lifeguards patrol two of the most popular beaches - Cylinder and Main - while for extreme enthusiasts, drivers can take their cars onto Main and Flinders for a bit of sand spinning. For those who want to pursue their love of the water, Amity beach is perfectly suited to launching a watercraft for a bit of skiing or donuting.

Fishing is also popular and those who are taking a break on the island can choose between taking a charter boat to go and hunt for the big fish or just taking a rod onto the rocks. Being conscious of safety - it's advised that those who do the latter take lifejackets.

The area is known for its marine life, with turtles, dolphins and manta rays located around the waters of the island. Whale watching is quite common in the area as thousands of the huge mammals migrate through the region in the winter months.

And if you are looking for a place to relax in the outdoors, golfers can visit the North Stradbroke Island Golf Club and play a few holes.

Bicycles are a fun way to get around - especially the north island where there are many paved cycle paths and few hills with quite moderate inclines. It's a perfect way for people to enjoy nature no matter what their fitness level is.

After a long day of activities or simply lounging on the beach, there are a number of restaurants where people can relax and have a meal. From fresh seafood to Italian and any number of little cafes, North Stradbroke Island has it covered when it comes to delicious, quality food.
