Living close to nature

Redlands Coast’s beautiful coastal environment includes mangroves, wetlands and mudflats that support diverse wildlife. As with many coastal regions, residents may experience seasonal mozzies and midges, particularly near waterways. Many locals embrace simple measures (like screens and outdoor planning) to comfortably enjoy the lifestyle year-round.
