About Netted Swimming Area
The Netted Swimming Area at Amity Point offers a controlled environment for visitors to swim in the ocean on North Stradbroke Island. This facility features a physical barrier designed to keep swimmers within a safe zone while providing views across the bay. The water remains relatively flat due to the natural geography of the coastline, making it a reliable spot for casual exercise and cooling off during the warm months. It is situated close to the Amity Point Jetty, where locals often gather for fishing and sunset viewing.
Public amenities including toilets, showers, and picnic benches are located adjacent to the swimming enclosure for convenience. The area is easily accessible from the main township and serves as a focal point for water-based recreation in the region. Visitors can use the space for wading, snorkelling within the nets, or general relaxation by the shore. The site provides a functional alternative to the surf beaches found on the eastern side of the island.
