Bongaree Foreshore Accessible Pathway – suggested route
NOTE: The suggested route below commences at Renton Lane, but the concrete foreshore pathway can be accessed from a number of parks and rest stops. You can start and end your journey wherever you like.
Start at Renton Lane, located at the southern end of South Esplanade, Bongaree. There is a small carpark alongside the water, which marks the start of the wheelchair-friendly pathway.
A short distance north along the waterfront at South Esplanade is Gary Parsons Park. This small park offers seating as well as fitness equipment.
Bench seats, rubbish bins and water fountains are dotted along Bongaree Foreshore for your comfort. Take in the fresh air and enjoy the sights and sounds – you are on island time, after all.
Continue travelling north, where South Esplanade turns to Toorbul Street at the Bribie Island Seaside Museum junction. The path then crosses through Brennan Park and the vibrant Bongaree Jetty precinct.
Along the sealed pathway adjacent to Welsby Parade you will enter the Chamber of Commerce Park, opposite the Bribie Island Bowls Club.
The last stop before the Bribie Bridge is Pumicestone Lions Park. This is a great picnic spot to finish your day, with lots of amenities, grassy lawns and viewing spots across to the mainland.
