Holidays in Brisbane, Queensland
|
Holidays in Brisbane whilst popular do not get as much acclaim as holidays at the traditional Queensland tourist spots of the Gold or Sunshine Coasts. However, it is actually possible to have the best of both worlds. A holiday in Brisbane and yet still a seaside holiday also.
Manly and Wynnum are seaside suburbs of Brisbane which have the beachside holiday atmosphere including plenty of water activities.
These eastern Brisbane beachside suburbs are protected by Moreton and Stradbroke Islands providing a calm expansive waterway perfect for sailing, fishing and other water and boating activities.
The advantage of staying in Manly (an eastern suburb of Brisbane) is that you can have a relaxing seaside holiday and yet be only a 30 minute drive to the heart of the Brisbane CBD.
There is however a trade-off. Manly and Wynnum do not have the large sandy beaches of the Gold or Sunshine Coasts. There is plenty of water, water views and swimming and boating etc, but no surfing waves and only a few bayside beaches in which to make sandcastles.
When weighing up the pros and cons Manly and Wynnum do score rather well providing a mix of beachside activities as well as many location advantages.
Advantages of a Holiday in Manly Brisbane
Although you are effectively in a suburb of Brisbane Manly and Wynnum have a definite holiday atmosphere with plenty of fun things to do – and without the hustle and bustle of too many tourists in the holiday season.
Manly is famous for its quaint village with trendy bars and clubs, fantastic range of restaurants, chic and unusual shops and hidden away coffee shops. Naturally there are several excellent fish and chip shops.
You can bus, train or drive to the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast. Manly is easily accessible from both the Brisbane and the Gold Coast airports.
The area is renowned for its 1.5km long flat boardwalk popular with cyclists, joggers and those looking for a stroll while taking in the water views and sailing boats.
There are also picnic facilities, jetties to fish from and lots of opportunities to windsurf, kayak and jet ski.
Manly also has the largest small boat harbour in Queensland. There are several boating clubs including the Wynnum Manly Yacht Club, the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, the Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club and also the Darling Point Sailing Squadron.
On Wynnum’s section of the esplanade there is a free children’s wading pool and wonderful water park.
On one weekend you can either enjoy the fresh produce and gourmet food market or the next weekend the bits and bobs and ‘find a bargain’ market. Both markets are held on the foreshore in Manly.
Pandanus Beach is an extremely popular sandy beach in summer for swimming, diving and lots of sand play for the littlies.
Being so close to Brisbane City a trip or two to the Brisbane Mall, Southbank, museums, galleries and restaurants is easily and pleasantly undertaken.
The mangroves along the bay are a nesting area for many different types of native and exotic birds which can be spotted along the mangrove boardwalk.
Entertainment for the family includes movies in the park, holiday sailing lessons, a heated swimming pool with a fun waterslide and fishing charters to name a few.
With Manly, holidays in Brisbane are also holidays by the seaside and one of the best locations for a family holiday whether you live interstate, overseas or in Queensland (or even Brisbane) itself.
