Mud Island Conservation Park

Mud Island Conservation Park is located in the central reaches of Moreton Bay, near the suburb of Mud Island. This protected area consists of a series of low-lying islands formed from coral rubble and sand, providing a critical habitat for migratory shorebirds and local marine life. Visitors typically access the site by private boat to engage in recreational fishing or to observe the diverse avian species that frequent the intertidal flats during low tide periods. The park is positioned north of the historic St Helena Island National Park, making it a key site within the broader marine ecosystem of South East Queensland. There are no permanent facilities, shops, or commercial establishments on the island, requiring all guests to be entirely self-sufficient with their own supplies. Activities are strictly managed to ensure the preservation of the delicate environment, focusing on low-impact nature appreciation and sustainable fishing practices within the designated marine park zones.
