Redlands Coast

Travel Guide

Sunset at Straddie.

Australian magpie.  They have the most beautiful song and though they can be vicious in breeding season, they do really get to know the local people and leave them alone.  Very clever birds!  This one is not too proud to walk right up to the back screen and tap to get our attention.  This does not mean it gets fed every day though!
Blue-faced Honeyeater.  Can't see why it would be called this...
Pied Oyster Catcher - commonly seen in pairs on tidal flats.

Where to stay in Redlands Coast

Raby Bay Marina is a great spot for a sunset. If the markets are on the vibe and atmosphere is great.  There are lots of eating spots and a boardwalk around the marina. It’s a great place to just sit and watch.

Raby Bay

Raby Bay might not have many top sights, but Cleveland Ferry Dock and Windemere Road Bushland Refuge are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Panoramic view of sunny Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast

Alberton

While Alberton might not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Dick Johnson Racing Raceshop and Museum and Carbrook Golf Club.
