Streets Beach

The perfect antidote to the corporate bustle of the CBD across the river, Streets Beach with its pristine powder white sand, lifeguards and permanent huddle of sun-kissed bathers, offers a great spot to cool down and escape the heat.

As Brisbane’s only 'city beach', it takes pride of place in the parklands as a beacon of what SEQ is famous for – sun, sea and sand - and it is firmly ensconced as one of the city’s favourite destinations.

Ideal for families, its shallow lagoon meanders under bridges and past islets of trees and picnic pavilions until it meets up with the superb Aquativity area.

South Bank is also home to a host of free-to-use, public barbecue spots, so why not plan a full day out and make the most of what's on offer in the city's parklands.
