About the Island
North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) is the second largest of Australia’s rare and unique sand islands. ‘Straddie’, as it is affectionately known, boasts a warm temperate climate all year round ensuring the perfect holiday destination. Relax, rejuvenate and enjoy the tranquility of an uncrowded destination or indulge in the outdoor lifestyle, water sports and bushwalking.
It’s an unspoiled natural paradise abounding in diverse flora and fauna. The island features stunningly beautiful ocean beaches, mountainous sand dunes, perched inland fresh water lakes, remnant livistona rainforest and melaleuca wetlands. Adjacent ocean waters host the annual whale migration and offshore reefs teem with fish. Sensitive mangrove progressions fringe the western bayside.
Amity, flanked by the calm waters of Moreton Bay (Quandamooka), is a quiet seaside village with a rich and colourful history, a relic of simpler times popular with fisherfolk and those seeking to escape.
