South Stradbroke Island Holidays

Thanks to the facilities of Couran Cove Island Resort, South Stradbroke Island offers a range of activities and attractions including basketball, tennis, putt putt golf, lawn bowls and running tracks from the Broadwater to the surf beach. There is also an island sanctuary where families can roam through tracks of Australian forest spotting native wildlife with no roads or cars to disturb the peace.

South Stradbroke Island is also the ideal place to enjoy a huge range of water sports including snorkelling, surfing, canoeing, sea kayaking, jet skiing, parasailing, kite surfing, windsurfing, fishing and sailing.

Largely undeveloped and completely car free, South Stradbroke Island is the perfect contrast from the bustling city of the Gold Coast. There's nothing like being immersed in nature and there are many ways to do this on South Stradbroke Island including the hundreds of wild yet friendly and inquisitive wallabies. If you're visiting from June to October, you might even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the majestic humpback whales as they pass by on their annual north migration. Other native animals include sugar gliders, blue-tongued lizards, geckos and bandicoots.

Visitors can enjoy a host of outdoor activities on South Stradbroke Island including beach-going, kayaking, jet skiing, fishing and buggy tours. Plus, with over 30km of beach, keen surfers can enjoy the powerful swell and pumping waves that South Stradbroke has to offer. For those wanting to unwind in nature, the Couran Cove Resort Day Spa offers a range of massage, body and beauty treatments designed to whisk you away to cloud nine.
