Linked to the mainland by a road bridge, Bribie Island is a low sand island. 34km long and up to 8km across it forms the north & western perimeter of Moreton bay. The island is separated from the mainland to the west by the narrow Pumice stone passages. Bribie Island has 2 reserves, Bribie Island national park and Buckley's Hole Conservation Park. Bribie Island Recreation Area features sand dunes, heaths, paperbark wetlands, open forests, woodlands, freshwater creeks and lagoons.

Tidal wetlands and waters around Bribie Island are protected as part of Moreton Bay Marine Park. Fish, crabs and prawns breed in Pumicestone Passage and dugong feed on its seagrass communities. Thousands of shorebirds feed and roost here. Cultural heritage includes shell middens and other evidence of Indigenous Australian people's traditional use of the area, and weathered structures remaining from the World War II coastal defence system.

Bribie Island Recreation Area provides a variety of coastal camping experiences, some accessible by four-wheel-drive, others accessible by boat. To protect fragile areas, camping is only permitted in designated campsites. Camping is not permitted on the beach foredunes, northern spit or on nearby islands within the Marine Park.
