Blakesleys Anchorage

Blakesleys Anchorage is a boat-access-only camping area on North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) in Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia.

The site owes its existence to a collapsed sand mine wall in the early 1980s, which created a sheltered beach that was subsequently revegetated through a collaborative effort by the mining company, local council, and community.

Over the decades it has become a beloved destination for boaters and paddlers. The anchorage is reachable by kayak from Victoria Point, roughly 11 kilometres across the bay via Macleay Island.

Camping is free, but the site is entirely self-sufficient — there is no fresh water or facilities on site, so visitors must bring everything they need. The beach is popular for fishing, wildlife spotting, and relaxed overnight stays.
