Beach your boat or jet ski directly on the sand and wander up barefoot for a cold drink and a feed on South Stradbroke Island. This waterfront escape pairs breezy island seclusion with pub-style hospitality, drawing boaties, campers, and day-tripping families across the Broadwater. Out on the deck, patrons dig into substantial burgers, crisp fish and chips, and fresh seafood alongside icy tap beers, cocktails, and barista-pulled espresso. Kids keep occupied at the open-air playground within easy sight of the tables, while local wildlife occasionally wanders along the bush fringe. For anyone pitching a tent in the adjacent grounds, evenings unwind over woodsmoke and hot plates delivered right to the site.
- Boat-in sand access: Anchor boats or jet skis straight onto the beach or tie up at the public jetty to walk directly up to the dining deck.
- Campground site delivery: Visitors staying at the adjacent island campground can arrange prepared dinners and firewood brought directly to their campsite.
- Family-friendly grounds: Shaded playground areas and casual outdoor tables let families unwind while watching waves and local wildlife across the inlet.
