Care for Dunes & Beaches

• Dunes and beaches can be extremely fragile. The sparse and inconspicuous dunal vegetation is often all that is stopping the dunes from becoming mobile and moving inland. To drive on the beach at Stradbroke, you must obtain a permit first.
• For annual permits, contact the Redlands on Moreton Bay Visitor Centre on 3821 2730 or purchase a permit from one of the various locations on the island.
• Be aware, the rules of the road apply to all beaches on Stradbroke.
• Enter and leave the beaches at designated beach access points only
• Slow down when passing people on the beach.
• Use formed tracks only and never make new tracks – reverse back along the track by which you entered rather than turn on the dune.
• Avoid driving on beaches within two hours of high tide and where possible drive on the section of the beach between low and high water marks.
• Always consider other beach users, stay alert and drive carefully.
• Respect resting sea birds by slowing down. The beach is their habitat.
