Beaches
Five main Beaches provide great fishing, surfing and water activities on North Stradbroke Island. These are Main Beach (32 km long, good for surfing), Cylinder Beach (protected swimming beach with smaller swell), Home Beach (a popular swimming beach), Frenchmans Beach/Deadmans Beach (rock pools but no lifesaving service) and Flinders Beach (on the western non-surf side of the Island, offers good swimming and popular with campers).

Famous quotes containing the word beaches:
“They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
