Sand dunes and Surf beach on South Stradbroke Island in Queensla
Sand dunes and Surf beach on South Stradbroke Island in Queensla
Just across the Broadwater from the Gold Coast in Queensland is South Stradbroke Island, one of only 15 sand based islands in the world, and home to Couran Cove Resort.

This island getaway is made up of 1,800 acres of conservation park, so you know you’re walking into pristine nature.

And it's one of the few places on the East Coast of Australia where you can see the sun rise in the east of the island and set on the west.
