Travel Guide

The favourite of the beaches for us as s family. There’s a playground here and the beach was really pretty. It’s quite protected and has shallow water for the kids to swim in.

Food is decently priced and typical pub grub with big and tasty servings – possibly the best salt & pepper squid we’ve ever had. Combine it with one of the live music or frog racing evenings. Oh, and there’s a swimming pool for those hot muggy days.
Magnetic Island, FNQ has a lot of great days... beaches and plenty of Sunshine to make any person smile! :)
Alma bay - one my most favourite places in the world. You can enjoy swimming with the lifesavers there the majority of the year, and plenty of people like to climb the massive boulders surrounding the bay. Lots of adventure to be had!! And can you believe this was in winter!
