💡 Tips
- Take the ferry or water taxi from Cleveland to North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah); it's much cheaper to go on foot than by car.
- Visit the Wellington Point reserve at low tide to walk across the exposed sandbar all the way to King Island.
- The local transport card (Go Card) works on the train lines connecting to Brisbane and some local bus routes.
- Keep an eye on the eucalyptus trees around Cleveland and Ormiston-you might spot wild koalas.
- Catching the sunrise over Moreton Bay is highly recommended from the historic Cleveland Point Lighthouse.

Redland City, often promoted as the Redlands Coast, is an easy on the eye local government area located southeast of Brisbane. It serves as the gateway to the memorable Moreton Bay islands, offering a well-suited blend of relaxed coastal living and accessible natural wonders. Visitors can easily reach the area by train or car from Brisbane, making it a popular destination for day trips and extended holidays. The coastal lifestyle is central to the Redlands experience. You can enjoy the calm waters and scenic walking paths at Thompson's Beach, a beloved local spot first-rate for family outings and gentle swimming. The region's extensive coastline is dotted with marinas, foreshore parks, and launching points for exploring the nearby islands, including the popular North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah). Beyond the beaches, Redland City is characterized by its lush hinterland and conservation areas that protect vital koala habitats. The local culinary scene highlights fresh local seafood and farm-to-table produce, often enjoyed in waterfront cafes and restaurants that offer spectacular views of the bay and its diverse marine life.
