Macleay Island, also known as Jencoomercha, is part of the Southern Moreton Bay Islands (opens in a new tab) on Redlands Coast. Its foreshore, sheltered waters and unhurried pace suit a simple day on the bay or a longer stay.
Plan the crossing first
Passenger services connect Redland Bay with Macleay and the neighbouring islands. Check the Queensland Government ferry information (opens in a new tab) for current operator and timetable details before you travel.
Make time for the waterfront
Bring a picnic or plan a slow walk by the water. The island’s marine access includes Dalpura Street and Brighton Road boat ramps (opens in a new tab), useful reference points for boat-based outings.
Choose a low-key island day
For ideas beyond the shoreline, explore Redlands Coast’s official visitor resources (opens in a new tab) for water recreation, walking, cycling and local facilities. Keep plans flexible around conditions and ferry times.
