Moreton Bay

Moreton Bay
The forest of masts on Manly’s tranquil marina promises smooth sailing on the crystal-clear waters of Moreton Bay. Here, at the mouth of the Brisbane River, a comfortable culture thrives in perpetual slow-motion. Across the bay, North Stradbroke Island offers wonderful snorkeling, diving, and swimming, while several other islands offer even more secluded, relaxed getaways. Although the area lacks pre-packaged fun, its lack of crowds and high-rises make Moreton Bay a mellow place to unwind.
