Where To Go - Bay Islands
Moreton Bay has numerous islands scattered through its blue waters - each being unique in its own way. The Bay Islands are a cluster of four small, very special islands found in southern Moreton Bay. They are rich in native flora and fauna, and are edged with mangrove foreshores interspersed with sandy beaches.
| Area | Description | |

| Karragarra Island | Karragarra is the smallest of the Bay Islands, measuring about half a kilometre wide and four kilometres long with a population of under 100 people. The island offers a sandy beach with netted swimming enclosure, electric and wood barbeques, picnic tables and shady trees, which are all very close to the jetty. There are no shops on the island, so make sure you bring a picnic. | |
| Lamb Island |
Lamb Island is the second smallest of the Bay Islands, and is known as the 'treasure of Moreton Bay'. There is an abundance of these trees opposite the dam on the island.
