Magnetic Island

Just a short ferry ride across the bay is the Picturesque Magnetic Island. Snorkel and swim, or head for a hike up to the Military Forts at the peak of the island. There’s plenty to do here, try hiring one of the Island’s iconic Topless Cars!

Nature & Wildlife

Head south of town to hold koalas or watch crocodile feedings daily at The Billabong Sanctuary, or book a boat trip and dive on the reef!

Eat & Drink

Shorehouse can be found at the front of the property! Featuring an Asian Grazing Menu and a fully stocked bar, it’s very popular, so please book ahead when you can! Rockpool Pavilion is the newest spot on The Strand for lunch and dinner, plus breakfast on the weekends! Head to City Lane in the CBD for a selection of food and drink outlets. Polola is your Mexican date night spot, and Shaw & Co’s Bartenders love the classics!
