Eli Creek is a freshwater break on K'gari's eastern beach. Walk the boardwalk inland, then swim or float with the current back toward the beach for a simple reset between island stops.
Plan for conditions
Beach driving and creek crossings change with the tides, so allow time and drive to conditions. Keep clear of the unstable sand cliffs and do not go beyond safety signs. Keep food and rubbish secure and follow dingo-safety directions.
Before travelling, check Fraser Coast Tourism's Eli Creek guide (opens in a new tab) and the current Queensland Parks conditions report (opens in a new tab).
