Absolutely beautiful, the most amazing views omg the ocean. It was very family friendly and easy to navigate, although there were a few stairs we were still able to take our big beach cart and help each other to go up and down stairs. We saw lots of cute kangaroo families which was a bonus and was so nice to experience a rich culture of traditional aboriginal(Quandamooka) people’s home land. We took the local bus there, it took us from the ferry terminal and dropped us right to the start of the walk, we got an all day bus pass for $10 and Winnie was free. We first stopped in at cylinder beach for a swim and lunch which was really lovely clear water and a decent pocket of water to swim in that’s protected by a sand bar, so it was nice flat water to swim in. There was also a ice cream truck and a smoothie/ juice truck which was nice to know you could get something. It was a lovely day out, really enjoyed it and I’m dying to stay over there!! the Cees xx

There are 2 patrolled beaches on North Stradbroke Island, Main Beach and Cylinder Beach. Whilst Main Beach might be great for a surf, Cylinder Beach is the spot to relax. Put up your sunshelter and make a day of it, relaxing in the crystal clear water. The kids can paddle around and you can even grab a coffee from the permanent coffee van located near the beach.

This beach at low tide would have to be one of my favorites and I've been around. Strewn with logs the gently curved protected bay joins onto flinders beach as you walk around the bend. At one end it starts at a Carpark where the rock wall which goes all the way to the jetty starts. There's no waves but it's sensible to act like a merest here because of no nets etc

We took the Kaboora track, a very nice walk to and from the lake lookout. Although the information board warns about open canopy making it hot during the day, this was not our experience. For most of the way, there is good shade. The vegetation was nice. We saw very few birds, probably because we did not get there early in the morning. The track is good and, apart from a couple of places with soft sand, very easy indeed.
