Those that are considering Queensland holiday destinations typically focus on the cities and better-known areas that have served countless adventurers and travellers over the years on the mainland. However, for those that don’t want just any old holiday and want to break away from the norm, Stradbroke Island is a little gem just 12 kilometres off the coast of South East Queensland and offers a completely unique alternative.
At Discover Stradbroke, we are the people that you need to get in touch with when you want a holiday in Queensland that allows you to stay within touching distance of the mainland, while simultaneously affording you the peace, relaxation and sense of escape that you have been seeking out.

To those people we say, come to Stradbroke Island.
