Planning coastal outings from a Brisbane base.
Is Bribie Island a worthwhile Brisbane day trip beyond a beach walk?

How should we choose a snorkelling trip from Brisbane?
Leave a non-water activity available if wind or swell makes the planned trip unsuitable.

If ocean surf is essential, accept the longer public-transport trip and choose one beach with a straightforward return.
Which beach can we visit from Brisbane without a car?
Compare Redcliffe, Wynnum and the Gold Coast by door-to-door travel time from your hotel. They offer different waterfront experiences, so decide whether swimming or a promenade is the priority.
