Q: Where are the Bay Islands? A: The Bay Islands are located in the calm waters of Moreton Bay in the lee of North Stradbroke Island and are connected to the mainland by ferries and barges which operate daily from Redland Bay. The Islands are approximately 40k south east of Brisbane City (or 1 hours drive) and the Gold Coast is just 45 minutes drive from Redland Bay.
The Islands are central to one of the great, protected aquatic and boating playgrounds on Australia's east coast. The waterway extends from the Broadwater on the Gold Coast to Moreton Bay and Brisbane.
The Islands are part of the Redland Shire which conserves one of the largest concentration of mangroves in the greater Brisbane area.
