Best Island Walks Around Brisbane

View of Gorge on Point Lookout North Stradbroke Island

Updated: Jun 19, 2026

For something different, here are four stunning island walks near Brisbane that are well worth a ferry or car trip:

King Island

This unique sea walk is strictly a low tide affair, when a sand causeway between tiny mangrove encircled King Island

Coochiemudlo Island Walk or Cycle

Coochie Mudlo Island is one of Moreton Bay's most secluded and compact sand-fringed islands, relatively untouched by time or tourists

Bribie Island

A flat easy walk or cycle of about 7km return, this shady path hugs the seafront through a continuous parkland to the Bribie Island Bridge and beyond

North Gorge Walk

Point Lookout Gorge Walk Stradbroke Island

The North Gorge Walk on Pt Lookout is, quite simply, one of South East Queensland’s most spectacular coastal walks.
