South Stradbroke Island - Tipplers Passage

Tipplers Passage sits on the northwestern side of South Stradbroke Island in Queensland's Gold Coast Broadwater, and serves as the primary boating access point for the Tipplers café, campground, and beach precinct.

The passage offers protected anchorage and is reachable in roughly 10–20 minutes from mainland boat ramps at Jacobs Well, Runaway Bay Marina, or Paradise Point. The area is a popular weekend destination for Gold Coast boaters.

Public pontoons provide short-stay loading and unloading access, though they can become congested on busy days.

The broader Tipplers precinct combines the calm, family-friendly Broadwater shoreline with ocean beach surf breaks on the island's eastern side, making it a versatile stop for a range of water-based activities.
