Ocean Beach Bribie Island Recreation Area has a great variety of coastal camping experiences for the avid fisherman or family groups. Some areas within the park are accessible only by boat and others only by four-wheeldrive. Wherever you go on the island, away from town areas, you need to carry fresh water and be self-sufficient. Vehicle access permits and camping permits apply. Please see the information on the following page for details about these permits. The best all round tyre pressure for sand driving is 16 psi. By letting your tyres down to 16psi you significantly increase the size of the tyres footprint on the sand so you have the same weight of vehicle spread over about twice as much rubber and therefore half the weight per square inch.
