BEACH DRIVING SAFETY TIPS

Driving on the beach can be an exciting and adventurous experience, but it’s important to be aware of potential hazards and risks. Remember these safety tips on your Moreton Island getaway to ensure you stay safe:

Check Tides and Beach Conditions

Before heading out on the beach, it's essential to check the tides and beach conditions. You should aim to drive on the beach during low tide, when there's more hard sand available.

Be Aware of Wildlife

Moreton Island is home to various wildlife species, such as sea turtles, whales, and dolphins. It's important to be aware of these animals and give them plenty of space. Additionally, it's also crucial to avoid driving on vegetation or disturbing any nesting sites.

Reduce Speed and Stay Alert

Driving on the beach can be unpredictable, and hazards can appear suddenly. To ensure your safety, reduce your speed and stay alert at all times. It's important to keep a watchful eye out for changing beach conditions that may impact your driving experience, such as soft sand, rocks, and debris.

Keep a Safe Distance

Maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles driving on the beach can help prevent accidents and ensure everyone has enough space to manoeuvre. Also remember that vehicles aren't the only way of moving around the island — watch out for pedestrians who may be moving through the same areas as your car.

HELP KEEP OUR BEAUTIFUL ISLANDS CLEAN

To ensure the protection of Moreton Island’s unique and fragile environment, it’s crucial to maintain environmental awareness during your visit. To minimise your impact on the island’s ecosystem, please remember the following tips:

Take Your Rubbish with You

One of the most important ways to protect Moreton Island's environment is to take all rubbish with you when you leave. Leaving rubbish behind can harm wildlife and damage the natural beauty of the land.

Stay on Designated Tracks

When driving on the beach, it's essential to stay on designated tracks to protect island vegetation and prevent erosion. Driving off-track can destroy fragile dune systems and disrupt wildlife habitats.

Respect Wildlife

Moreton Island is home to various wildlife species, and visitors should be respectful and mindful of their presence. It's essential to keep a safe distance and avoid disturbing any nesting sites.
