Northern Beaches
For many of us, a trip to the beach has an almost transformative effect. It’s something to do with fresh sea air filling your lungs, saltwater in your hair and sand between your toes. Just 20 minutes from the centre of Mackay, you’ll find a collection of beaches to suit every need.
Blacks Beach
Bucasia Beach
This is the longest stretch of beach in Mackay with 6km of pure golden sand and palm trees providing endless perfect locations for reading. You’ll often find fishermen near the creek mouth at the southern end.
Drive or walk along the picture perfect esplanade or stop at a picnic table or playground to take in the beauty. With a nearby boat ramp, this is also a popular fishing spot.
Dolphin Heads
Shoal Point
Don’t forget your camera so you can capture the unique natural headlands in the shapes of dolphins.
Low tide creates a field of exploration, giving the intrepid access to Green Island just offshore. Back on the beach a playground and picnic area with barbeques, toilets and showers makes this an easy beach to love.
Eimeo Beach Popular with families for its safe patrolled waters, playground and barbeque facilities, Eimeo Beach is pure, good old-fashioned fun.
