South Stradbroke Island is a small sand island just off of Southport on the Gold Coast. In fact, South Stradbroke is only 200 metres from the northern end of the Spit in Southport, making the island easily accessible for day trips.
South Stradbroke Island is mostly undeveloped with the main activities focusing on enjoyment of the outdoors: surfing, bushwalking, swimming and canoeing. It is this aspect of ‘South Straddie’, as the locals fondly call it, that offers a welcome diversion from the city lifestyle.
Ferry services operate to South Stradbroke Island from Runaway Bay Marina, a 20 minute drive north of Surfers Paradise. A seaplane from Marina Mirage can also be used to visit the island.
