Wellington Point to King Island Walk

King Island is a tiny mangrove-ringed islet in Moreton Bay and just a sandy stroll off the coast of Wellington Point. At low tide, it’s linked to the mainland by sand flats. Two hours either side of high tide and the link is a stunning meandering causeway. Choose your walk time carefully as the sand bridge to the mainland is submerged at high tide. (Check the tide times here.) Ideally, start two or three hours before high tide to see the narrow sandbar and give your walk a sense of impending doom! You start and finish at Wellington Point Recreation Reserve where there is a kick-ass playground under huge fig trees and calm water swimming. This 30-60 minute walk is a good family outing.There’s even a handy coffee shop and a fish and chipper, plus toilets, a shower and great views of Moreton Bay. This is as easy as walks get, but timing is everything here – it’s busy on weekends and crazy on school hols, but if you can avoid these and get the tides and sunset just right, Wellington Point is amazeballs.
