Where To Buy Alcohol On K'gari (Fraser Island)?

You can purchase alcohol at five locations on K'gari (Fraser Island): K'gari Beach Resort, Happy Valley, Cathedrals on Fraser, Orchid Beach Trading Post and Kingfisher Resort. All of these places have shops where you can purchase your favourite drinks to enjoy in the evenings after a long day of exploring.

Variety is limited and stock is not guaranteed on K'gari (Fraser Island). All locations also offer fuel and groceries, meaning it's a one-stop shop if you need anything during your time on this beautiful sand island! The best variety of alcohol is found at K'gari Beach Resort or Kingfisher Resort. This convenience is ideal if you have forgotten to stock up or have run out of alcohol during your trip!

K'gari Beach Resort

You will find the bottle shop in the general store, easily found by the main entrance to the resort.

Happy Valley 

Find a variety of beer, spirits and wines in the general store. You can also buy supplies here such as groceries and snacks.

Cathedrals on Fraser

The campsite provides a bottle shop, general store and other camp necessities.

Orchid Beach Trading Post

Orchid Beach only has one store that has supplies including groceries and alcohol. It is the most northern store on the island.

Kingfisher Resort

The large resort is the only place on the western side of the island where you can purchase alcohol. You can do this at a bottle shop or one of its bars.

Can you bring alcohol to Fraser Island?

You can also bring alcohol from the mainland to K'gari (Fraser Island), which is generally a more affordable option. Because all products have to be imported to K'gari from the mainland, prices for everything are often steeper at the island shops. So try to buy everything you need for your trip before you depart from Hervey Bay or Rainbow Beach

Also make sure you confirm that your K'gari (Fraser Island) tour allows you to bring your own alcohol. Many tag along and camping tours are BYO. Some resort tours are not BYO, as you can purchase alcohol at the resort itself. Contact us if you're not sure whether or not your tour allows you to bring alcohol!
