Visiting Bribie

Aquatic activities on Bribie Island

Bribie Island is a haven for windsurfing or catamaran sailing with both the Pumicestone Passage and the open waters off Woorim Beach. Woorim is Brisbane's closest patrolled surf beach, the venue for regular surf carnivals and a popular spot for swimmers and board riders.

Accredited Surf School for those budding surf champions is available - bookings are essential.

Water skiing and Jet skiing are other popular pastimes in the calmer waters of the Passage with other aquatic activities such as kayaking, BBQ Boats, and other boats available for hire.

Spinnaker Sound Marina is adjacent to the mainland approach of the Bribie Bridge and features a protected marina harbour brimming with pleasure craft set amidst picturesque garden surrounding which overlook Pumicestone Passage. The marina provides a large range of services for the boat enthusiast and the marina has a fully licensed restaurant.

The Island even has its own modern aquatic leisure complex with heated swimming, leisure and hydrotherapy pools open all year round.

Scuba Diving is extremely popular in the Moreton Bay, Flinders Reef area. The diving in many cases better than in the tropical waters further north as the cooler conditions attract different fish on the various coral reefs.

Bribie Island is truly a fisherman's paradise. Tailor, bream, whiting, mackerel and cod are frequently caught in and around the Island and Pumicestone Passage, with mud crabs and sands crabs also there for the taking.

For the fisherman wishing to venture further afield, sweetlip, pearl perch, parrot and snapper abound among the reefs off the Island. Surf fishing is popular at Skirmish Point and along the wide expanse of the ocean beach.

Moreton Bay has emerged in recent years as one of the great game fishing centres and is only a short cruise by higher powered boats from Bribie Island. World game fishing records are regularly broken with catches of yellowfin tuna, black marlin, sailfish and kingfish.
