Hi Anne. There isn't a big range of options on the island. Our go-to is the Blue Room cafe at Point Lookout, they have incredible views from high up on the cliff and you can watch the whales spouting as they go past during winter. The fish and chip shop nearby is popular to take across to the park or down to the beach. The Stradbroke beach hotel bistro has good seating overlooking the beach and ocean, it's about a kilometre from the Gorge Walk by road, about twice that along the beach with a possible scramble around the corner depending on the tide. The Barn cafe in Dunwich has great coffee and the food looked good but we have never been in that part of the island at lunchtime. Enjoy!

We're looking forward to giving it a try in a couple of weeks Jacqui - it looks like a great new option.

Scooters on Straddie! So much fun, lovely people, beautiful Island. You will not regret giving this a go!

Will definitely be giving that a try next time we get across to Straddie.

We love Fraser too, there are so many gorgeous islands off Queensland. Have a great holiday!

Hi Kate, thanks for stopping by the blog. Your kids love the outdoors and being active so I think they'd love Straddie if you're down this way.
