Brisbane, Australia — You Have to Visit North Stradbroke Island!

If you’re coming to Brisbane, don’t miss out on North Stradbroke Island (Straddie) — it’s honestly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been! Just a short trip from the city, this island feels completely untouched — raw nature at its best. Crystal-clear beaches, stunning cliffs, and the wildlife is unbelievable. We spotted wild kangaroos right by the cliffs and, if you’re lucky (or bring a drone), you can even see whales and dolphins swimming in the South Pacific. With the naked eye, you’ll catch their huge tails splashing — absolutely magical! The coastline here easily rivals the Gold Coast, with endless beaches perfect for walking, relaxing, or simply soaking in the view. The vibe is so laid-back, peaceful, and refreshing — I could’ve stayed all day. If you love nature, wildlife, and coastal views — North Straddie is a must. You won’t be disappointed! #brisbane #northstradbrokeisland #australia #hiddengem #travel
