Pandanus Beach Verified listing

Pandanus Beach at Wynnum, with its fossicking opportunities, clean sands, shallow waters, long jetty and rocky finds, is the perfect little family beach just waiting to be discovered.  Tucked away behind the area’s other main attractions, this beach is reason enough to visit the area and just another terrific drawcard to planning a family day out in Wynnum.

Pandanus Beach, aptly named after the string of Pandanus trees that line its foreshore, is a small but beautiful stretch of white sands and shallow water play on Wynnum’s Foreshore.  Man-made from sand imported from Stradbroke Island, the beach is bookended by the Wynnum Jetty and a shorter man-made rock wall.

Even when the tide is high, the gentle slope of the beach means that the water levels never go much above waist deep, even as you wade further out. Equally, the beach has a wide sandy shore perfect for laying towels out, soaking up the glorious Australian sun and building sand castles.

Although Pandanus Beach is not patrolled, its small size and still waters make it a firm favourite with families with younger children due to the relatively safe swimming environment it provides.

As Pandanus Beach is located on the Wynnum Foreshore, there are countless cafes and restaurants nearby with mouth-watering menus to explore.  We recommend grabbing some takeaway fish and chips from one of the two fantastic seafood cafes across the road and bringing it back to eat in the park or on the beach.

Plenty of picnic tables and grassy lawns surround the playground, beach and pool, and numerous BBQ areas should you wish to cook up or prepare your own picnic or lunch spread.
