Clean water - Yes!!

Sharks - Yes! too. But not normally particularly aggressive. Netting
and
set lines at bathing beaches reduces the number I suspect!

Bribie Island ocean side - yes! Same for Moreton Island. The good
breaks
are
also just half an hour further north on the Sunshine Coast - or at
Duranbah etc on the southern Gold Coast.

Hi Everyone,
In March I'm going to Australia for a holiday for 3 weeks. While
I'm
there
I
intend to do some snorkelling and I would like to teach my
girlfriend
how
to
snorkel.
Can anyone recommend a beach around Brisbane that I can go to?
Ideally
I'm
looking for a sandy beach with Very small waves. It dosen't have
to
be
too
intresting as I just need it for her to get used to the water
while
wearing
a mask and snokel. The most important thing are the small waves.
I'm hoping that we can go to the marine reserve in Moreton Bay,
but
before
that I have to be able take her snorkelling off the mainland
shore.

Can anyone also tell me if there are box jellyfish around Brisbane
at
the
moment. I don't think there are, but I'd like to check.

Thanks in advance

Darren


Try Pumicestone Passage, Bribie Island , nice sandy beaches, next to
no
jellyfish, quite a few pods of dolphins and the odd dugong. Just a
sandy
bottom though so its fairly boring.

On calm days the Ocean Beach is ok.

For something more interesting the wrecks on Moreton Island are
really
worth
the visit, the area is sheltered and very good for first timers.

Redcliffe has a beach which is cross between grit, mud and rocks.
Any
closer
to Brisbane and the beaches get to be muddy and full of mangroves.
Going
South is similar.
