Not only is Bribie Island the only one of Moreton Bay's sand islands to have a bridge over from the mainland, but it also holds the holy grail of Moreton Bay locations - a surf beach!



Beautiful Woorim Surf Beach

Woorim Surf Beach is a beautiful sandy stretch of beach that runs along the eastern shore of Bribie Island, to the south of the National Park.



The surf here is usually ideal for children since this beach receives some protection from Moreton Bay, and from Moreton Island which is visible from Woorim Beach. The beach is patrolled by the Bribie Island Surf Club from September to May each year, and as always, it is best to swim between the flags. The Bribie Island Surf Club also runs a nippers program for children aged 7-13 years, with 2020's sign on days held on Saturday 29 August and Sunday 30 August from 10am - 2pm. The Bribie Island Surf Club is also trialing an accessible beach trail with wheelchair-friendly matting, and free beach wheelchair hire on weekends and public holidays. To arrange this free hire you can call (07) 3408 1168.


Woorim's surf beach is bounded by Bribie Island National Park to the north, and by a dog off-leash beach to the south.



For this reason, if walking north along the beach beyond the Ocean Beach Access Track it is important to keep an eye out for four wheel drive vehicles on their way to the Bribie Island National Park, especially as the surf can drown out the sound of their engines.



Wildlife along Woorim Surf Beach

Visitors to Woorim Surf Beach are often treated to a wide variety of wildlife. Bottlenosed and Australian humpback dolphins are frequently seen playing or feeding, and at times will come right into the surf to play. Whales are also seen on occasion during their annual June to October migration from Antarctica to Hervey Bay.



Visitors can also enjoy prolific birdlife along Woorim Surf Beach. Walking north towards the first beacon, white bellied sea eagles and brahminy kites can frequently be seen soaring along the shoreline in search of their next meal.



Smaller birds include rainbow bee eaters, striated pardalotes, laughing kookaburras, and the ever-delightful parrots such as galahs and little corellas.
