On our visit to Bribie Island, we started the day with coffee at Annie Lane and wandered along Bongaree Beach. We then explored Woorim Beach, saw the water tower art, and visited the Butterfly House. We also checked out the Bribie Seaside Museum and the Community Arts Centre.

A great way to start the day is with coffee at Annie Lane on Toorbul Street. This boutique cafe offers an all-day brunch menu using local produce, with great views over Bongaree Beach.

Bongaree Beach is on the western side of Bribie Island and has calm, shallow waters, making it the perfect place for swimming and water activities. Along the beachfront are shady parklands with grassy areas, barbecues, picnic facilities, and playgrounds. There is also a great selection of cafes, restaurants and other speciality shops.

Woorim Beach is located on the eastern side of Bribie Island and is the closest surf beach north of Brisbane. It is popular with surfers and swimmers alike due to the stunning long stretch of sand and beautiful blue water. There are also cafes, restaurants, picnic shelters and parklands adjacent to Woorim Beach, and the Bribie Island Surf Lifesaving Club patrols the beach.

We admired the Woorim Water Tower, painted by artists Scott Nagy and Mike Shankster to reflect Bribie Islands beach culture.

The Bribie Island Butterfly House is a flower-filled sanctuary where you can walk through hundreds of butterflies flying around you. It is open on Wednesdays and Sundays from 10 am to 4 pm; the Butterfly House offers a unique and mesmerising experience for visitors of all ages.

As you wander through the Bribie Island Butterfly House, you can expect to see 50,000 to 100,000 take-offs and landings on a sunny day, as there are 500 – 1,000 butterflies here; they also have a refuelling station.

The Bribie Island Seaside Museum is open daily from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm with free entry. It has immersive and interactive displays about the history and culture of Bribie Island.

The Bribie Island Community Arts Centre has beautiful galleries that showcase local and visiting artists’ paintings, pottery, sculpture, woodwork, fabric, glassware, metal and jewellery. There is also a cafe and gift shop and several short walks along the Bicentennial trail.
