With names such as the Jewel in Queensland’s Crown, or the Whale Watch Capital of the World, it is no surprise that Hervey Bay boasts spectacular views and provides families with memories of a lifetime.
Whether journeying through a beautifully scenic 3.5-hour drive north of Brisbane, or opting for a time-efficient 45-minute flight direct, Hervey Bay is an easily accessible holiday destination, surrounded by pristine beaches and nearby islands.
A beautiful location to tick off your bucket list is Fraser Island: it is the world’s largest sand island, stretching over 120km in length. Fraser Island offers a wide variety of stunning areas to visit and activities to take part in, including taking a dip in Lake McKenzie’s pure water, or visiting one of Fraser Island’s most famous wrecks and landmark attractions, The Maheno.
If you’re looking for a more intimate location to spend quality time with the family, Pelican Bank is the location for you. Known for its breathtakingly crystal clear water and white sandy beach, Pelican Bank is the perfect spot for kayaking, fishing, or even a family barbecue on the water.
Not only is Hervey Bay surrounded by a variety of nearby islands, but it is also renowned for its festivals – in particular, the yearly Seafood Festival. Hervey Bay’s Seafood Festival celebrates local seafood, caught by the men and women managing the entire event! This year, Hervey Bay Seafood Festival will be celebrating its 20th birthday. You will have the chance to see incredible performances and entertainment, whilst enjoying delicious local delicacies at the Seafood Cookery Marquee.
