点评:2-3 days is just enough to get around and see the sites on this lovely island. Depending on your accommodation it would be worth staying even longer if you can during this non-busy period of the year. Our highlights were the Gorge and Whale walks, Cylinder, Frenchmans and Flinders beaches. All very different and absolutely pristine with white sand and clear warm seas. Our accommodation was at Kangaroo Point which was literaly 3 minutes walk to Cylinder beach.
We found it all very casual on this island. No upmarket 5 star restaurants rather casual and budget friendly dining with friendly and professional staff. We recommend taking your food with you and doing lots of BBQ's or experience some of the fresh seafood shops for your outdoor dining.
We also recommend trying the Saint Stradbroke wine bar in Dunwich. They are open past 3pm and offer excellent service, wines and coffee plus light meals. Right behind the Saint Stradbroke wine bar is also the Brewery which is worth a visit as well.
The island offers great camping spots by the sea. Very handy to the ocean beaches if you prefer waves. There were no large hotel resorts or high-rise hotels we could find. The island manages to balance the crowds, the development, national park and natural aesthetic as well as you can find anywhere. Also, we loved that there were no fast-food restaurants on the island. The locals are very friendly and helpful, and it is an island that is very respectful to its indigenous owners, history, and visitors.
If you visit in the month of May, (during a non-school holiday period) you will find few tourists and plenty of parking and access to everything. So, we felt we had the beaches to ourselves. Incredibly quiet and beautiful with lots to explore. Amity Point was full of birdlife, with flat seas and lots of wilderness right up to the water. 4WD best for exploring there.
We discovered a golf course up in the middle of the island with some nice views as well. Brown lake was nice, but not amazing. Lookout Point was the jewel of the island. You will find some dog friendly beaches there and good access to the headland with its vast sturdy and winding wooden boardwalks that hug the coastline. Top on our list was the Cylinder, Gorge and Whale Walkways. We were enthralled by the beauty of the island. The Main Beach stretches thirty-eight klm long and 11 klm wide. 4 Wheel Driving is a must on this beach, however when we visited it was not permitted due to the high tides. On our brief stay we spotted lots of kangaroos; kookaburra's; wild dolphins; two wedge tail eagles; many sea birds and bush stone curlews. In summary a nature lovers haven. NOTE: Patchy internet across the island and please be mindful of the speed limits on this island, i.e. 30klm per hour at Point Lookout. Wildlife crosses the roads regularly. Remember to take your rubbish and if you walk along the beach and you see some plastic washed up, pick it up and remove it to a bid up on the roadside. If we all do our bit, this will remain another South East gem of the Queensland coastline.
翻译:2-3 天的时间足以游览并游览这个美丽岛屿上的景点。根据您的住宿情况,如果可以在一年中这个非繁忙时期停留更长时间,则值得。我们的亮点是峡谷和鲸鱼步道、Cylinder、Frenchmans 和 Flinders 海滩。所有海滩都非常不同,绝对原始,拥有白色的沙滩和清澈温暖的海水。我们的住宿在 Kangaroo Point,距离 Cylinder 海滩仅 3 分钟步行路程。
我们发现这个岛上的一切都非常休闲。没有高档的 5 星级餐厅,而是休闲且经济实惠的餐厅,员工友好而专业。我们建议您随身携带食物,多做烧烤,或者体验一些新鲜的海鲜店,享受户外用餐。
我们还建议您尝试 Dunwich 的 Saint Stradbroke 酒吧。他们营业到下午 3 点后,提供优质的服务、葡萄酒和咖啡以及便餐。Saint Stradbroke 酒吧后面还有啤酒厂,也值得一游。
该岛提供很棒的海边露营地点。如果您喜欢海浪,这里到海滩非常方便。我们没有找到大型酒店度假村或高层酒店。岛上设法平衡了人群、开发、国家公园和自然美景,就像您在任何地方都能找到的那样。此外,我们喜欢岛上没有快餐店。当地人非常友好和乐于助人,这个岛屿非常尊重其原住民、历史和游客。
如果您在 5 月(非学校假期期间)访问,您会发现游客很少,停车位充足,可以前往任何地方。所以,我们觉得我们拥有自己的海滩。非常安静和美丽,有很多值得探索的地方。阿米蒂角充满了鸟类,海面平静,直到水边都是荒野。四轮驱动最适合在那里探索。
我们在岛中央发现了一个高尔夫球场,也有一些不错的景色。布朗湖很漂亮,但并不令人惊叹。瞭望点是岛上的明珠。您会发现那里有一些适合狗狗的海滩,而且可以方便地前往海岬,那里有宽阔、坚固、蜿蜒的木板路,沿着海岸线而行。我们名单上最棒的是圆柱、峡谷和鲸鱼步道。我们被岛屿的美景迷住了。主海滩绵延 38 公里长,11 公里宽。在这个海滩上,四轮驱动是必须的,但是我们去的时候因为潮水高而不允许。在我们短暂的停留期间,我们发现了很多袋鼠、笑翠鸟、野生海豚、两只楔尾鹰、许多海鸟和灌木石鸻。总之,这里是自然爱好者的天堂。注意:整个岛屿的互联网不稳定,请注意岛上的速度限制,即 Point Lookout 的速度限制为每小时 30 公里。野生动物经常穿过道路。记得带走你的垃圾,如果你沿着海滩散步,看到一些塑料被冲上岸,请捡起它并放到路边的垃圾桶里。如果我们都尽自己的一份力,这里将成为昆士兰海岸线东南部的另一颗明珠。
