A little adventure on Redlands Coast is a big way to connect with all that is naturally wonderful here. Relax in island calm that is little more than an hour from Brisbane, hire a kayak and explore the bay at your own pace, come for a festival or to cheer on top level triathletes in action, or step back in time along one of the many heritage trails. For a taste of the Coast in a day, start in the hinterland village of Mount Cotton and follow the Southern Moreton Bay Tourist Drive. Along the way, choose from quaint cafe's and a multitude of eateries with views to dine for. Offering the ideal balance of fun and relaxation, Redlands Coast is perfect for day trips and short stays.
Go beyond the usual and explore the hidden treasures of Redlands Coast. Launch a boat and enjoy some of the best fishing spots in south-east Queensland, browse farmer and handcraft markets on the mainland and islands for unique items and creative art works, or picnic on the closest natural sand beach to Brisbane. Discover the Indigenous rhythm that has helped shape the spirit of the Coast for more than 21,000 years, or explore native botanic gardens, national parks or one of many cycle and walking trails or conservation areas and unearth the secret delights that await.
Unwind among vast tracts of unspoiled bushland teeming with wildlife, including wallabies and koalas. Just minutes from the coast, the Redlands Coast hinterland offers the best of both worlds.
