Start your adventure
Begin your journey to North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) on the SeaLink ferry. Before you board, stop by the Departure Lounge Café for a coffee and check out the Surfing Santa augmented reality experience. The trip from Cleveland takes just 30 minutes on the passenger ferry or 45 minutes on the vehicle barge, then you’re officially on island time!
Getting to Amity Point
Once you arrive, make your way to Amity Point, a charming township on North Stradbroke Island known for its calm turquoise waters and gentle sea breezes. Didn’t bring your car? No worries! Hop on the 881 bus for just 50 cents, which leaves regularly from the ferry terminal and drops you right in the heart of the village.
Coffee at Bo Beans
Fuel up at Bo Beans with a freshly brewed coffee (and maybe a milkshake for the kids 😉) and treat yourself to baked goodies like ham and cheese croissants or cookies. Visiting on the weekend? Don’t miss their sweet or savoury crepes they’re a local favourite!
Relax by the Jetty
Next, wander down to the Amity Point jetty, a picture-perfect spot where time seems to slow down. Take a refreshing dip in the calm, protected waters of the swimming enclosure, ideal for families and anyone looking to escape the summer heat. The gentle lapping of the bay and the salty breeze make it the ultimate place to unwind. Forgot your sunscreen or hat? No worries, the Amity Point General Dealers are just a short stroll away, stocked with all the essentials.
Wildlife Wonders
Amity Point is a wildlife lover’s paradise! Spot dolphins and dugongs in the bay, pelicans and eagles soaring above, and koalas nestled in the trees. You’re almost guaranteed to see something special.
Lunch at Amity Point Community Club
Worked up an appetite? The Amity Point Community Club is the perfect spot for a delicious lunch. If you missed Surfing Santa at the ferry terminal, you can catch the experience here too. Stay a while and relax on the deck while wallabies hop across the oval, and the kids enjoy the playground and mini-golf course.
End the Day with a Stunning Sunset
As the day winds down, jump back on the ferry or barge and soak in a breathtaking sunset over Moreton Bay. Don’t forget to snap a photo! If you have a bit more time up your sleeve, why not stay a little longer? Check out our accommodation page to find the perfect place to stay.
