Sandstone Point sits about 50 kilometers north of Brisbane via the M1 Pacific Motorway and Bribie Island Road. The drive from Brisbane takes roughly 45 minutes in normal traffic, though weekend and holiday periods can stretch this to over an hour. Take Exit 54 for Caboolture and follow the signs toward Bribie Island – the route is well-marked and caravan-friendly throughout.
The final approach along Bribie Island Road offers pleasant rural scenery before you reach the waterfront. Road conditions are excellent for all caravan sizes, with wide lanes and gentle curves. No steep grades or tight turns to worry about. Fuel up in Caboolture before the final stretch, as options become limited closer to the water.
For those coming from the north, the Bruce Highway connects to the same exit system. Southbound travelers from the Sunshine Coast will find this an easy 45-minute drive through relatively flat terrain. Stock up on groceries and supplies in Caboolture or Morayfield, as shopping options thin out significantly once you reach the waterfront area. The IGA in Bongaree on Bribie Island provides basic supplies if you need last-minute items.
