Welcome to Nudgee Beach, a peaceful tidal beach located on the northern outskirts of Brisbane, Queensland. Fringed by coastal mangroves and extensive wetlands, this small but charming spot is popular with locals for dog walking, birdwatching, fishing, and launching kayaks into the shallow estuary. At low tide, wide sand and mud flats are revealed, attracting flocks of migratory shorebirds and making it a great destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers. With its calm atmosphere, off-leash dog areas, picnic facilities, and direct access to the Boondall Wetlands Reserve walking and cycling tracks, Nudgee Beach is a quiet escape into nature while still being only a short drive from the Brisbane CBD
