About Bribie Island

Bribie Island is located midway between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast in South East Queensland, Australia. The island is made up of sand and is approximately 34km long and 8km wide at it's widest point. Bribie is linked to the mainland by bridge making it the most accessible of the Moreton Bay islands. Despite this accessibility Bribie still remains a sub-tropical natural paradise with over 80% of the island listed as national parks.

Bribie offers miles of unspoiled sandy white beaches both on the ocean side of the island and the Pumicestone Passage side. This gives visitors a wide choice of swimming locations no matter what the conditions. The island's abundance of unspoilt bushland is home to a wide range of native animals including Kangaroos, Emus, Dingoes and around 350 species of birds.

The Pumicestone Passage marine park which separates the island from the mainland is an internationally recognised natural wonderland. Some of the species you are likely to encounter here are dolphins, turtles and dugong. It is also a very popular fishing spot with fishing being one of the main past times for visitors and locals alike. The Professionals Bribie Island office overlooks "the passage" at Bongaree and our staff are regularly treated to the site of a pod of dolphins making there way along the water.

Bribie is also famous for it's glorious sunsets. From the calm side of the island you can watch the sun go down behind the beautiful Glasshouse Mountains which is made even more spectacular by the reflection of light from the waters of the passage.

On the surf side of the island are over 30km of pristine sandy surf beaches. Very little of this side of the island has been developed and it's not uncommon to find yourself alone on this beautiful beach. The southern end of the surf beach is accessible via road but if you want more isolation you can explore further north via four wheel drive. You can take your 4wd either along the beach or on one of the many tracks. Along the way you are likely to come across one of the old World War 2 bunkers as Bribie was a major base for operations during the war.

These days it's not just the natural wonders that are bringing people to Bribie Island. Bongaree on the calm side of the island is fast becoming a hub of restaurants and cafes. The island also has galleries, a top class arts centre, aquatic centre, 3 bowls clubs, a golf club (with 1 more under construction), pubs, gyms, numerous sporting clubs, shopping and more.
