Operated by Golden Beach Hire · Golden Beach, Queensland
The morning opens flat and wide on Pumicestone Passage: a silver ribbon of water that eases between the mainland and Bribie Island, inviting paddlers to glide where boats rarely go. Launch from the corner of Esplanade and Gregory Street at Golden Beach and you’re quickly skimming over clear, shallow water, the sandbars rising like low islands that dare you to beach and explore. Terns wheel overhead; a stingray lifts from the shallows and vanishes like a shadow deciding to keep your company.
