South Gorge Beach

We have been to North Stradbroke numerous times and have never done this walk,it’s amazing the views are spectacular the water is so crystal clear on a sunny day.nWe saw 5 whales and a massive pod of dolphins.The boardwalk makes it so easy to walk around the edge of the spectacular landscape so many rest photo opportunities it’s about 1.5 km around the whole boardwalk don’t miss this walk!!nWe went back the next day and did it again .

South Gorge beach, next to main beach, is very attractive to families and also to board riders. The life savers have a sign at the entrance warning about the dangerous currents which force them to rescue a few swimmers every day, on average.nnThe current is attractive to board riders because they use it to get out to the waves quickly. But for inexperienced swimmers it can be a big shock. Also, because the beach is narrow and wedge shaped, with cliffs on either side, the water level can rise very quickly.nnThe cliff on the Eastern side provides shade and the unusual shape of the beach provides endless variety. This is a great beach, but take care. If you don’t take time to understand what is going on in the water, don’t swim here. But even then it is worth a visit.

Lovely location and great walkway down to it

Closed due to rough waves

Amazing place.
