Come and explore one of the local gems, a massive sand island right on Brisbane's doorstep that feels like a true getaway. You'll want a 4WD to really experience the place, letting you drive along the beaches to find your own perfect spot. The highlight for many is snorkeling or kayaking around the Tangalooma Wrecks, a collection of sunken ships that have created a vibrant artificial reef teeming with fish. For a bit of a thrill, try sandboarding down the giant dunes—it's an absolute blast! It's best to plan for a full day or even a weekend to soak it all in, as getting here involves a 75-90 minute ferry ride from the mainland.
