Eli Creek
The largest clear-water creek on K'gari's east coast, where you can walk up a wooden boardwalk and then float back down to the beach.
Eli Creek is the largest creek on K'gari's east coast. Every hour, millions of litres of clear fresh water seep out of the sand and flow into the sea. A wooden boardwalk loop runs along the creek. Visitors usually follow the boardwalk to the upstream section, then wade into water that is knee to waist deep and drift gently back to the beach, using a rented or their own floating ring. Toilets and picnic areas are provided. It is one of the most popular rest stops on the island, and it is crowded on weekends and holidays, when 4WDs park in large numbers on the beach.
