magnetic island ❤️
Stayed at magnetic island, such a beautiful island. Lots of things to do. Hire cars are available also. The ferry ride over was calm and picturesque.
The White Lady Bay
#australiatrip A short kayak ride from the esplanade at Horseshoe Bay. Quiet little beach. Remains of the time when there was an oyster lease and shack erected. Reminders like a concrete slab, retaining walls and sandstone lined watercourse, just off the beach. Good place to get a tan. An absolute favourite of mine accessible only by boat. If you’re after serenity as the sun goes down you have to visit here.
The Balding Bay
#australiatrip Best beach of Magnetic Island. Would recommend parking at Henry Lawson Street or Dent Street to access via National Park entrance. The walk itself takes 30-40mins and is tranquil throughout. The beach is awesome as it's a nudist beach. Only thing is it can be known for Irukandji jellyfish especially between Dec to May. Besides that, one of the best spots to visit at Magnetic.
The Florence Bay
#australiatrip Beautiful sheltered bay, great snorkeling and swimming. Clear pristine beaches. On a calm day this is one of the most beautiful beaches I've been to and swimming there is a joy. Look out during stinger season and enjoy the abundance of fish and stingrays. Enjoy your swim when the water is clear and bring a mask and snorkel! Great view, good atmosphere, enough food options to stay a few days. Also good for a day trip
Arthur Bay Lookout
#australiatrip Beautiful small bay on Magnetic Island, with a small coral reef which is great for snorkeling over. Road in is pretty rough, so many people walk there from the Forts carpark and bus stop. Another jewel on Magnetic Island, accessible by foot or car. Crystal clear water and a good place to snorkel. Some days it's like having a private beach all to yourself. And don't forget a trip to the lookout for that special photo
Magnetic Island Trip
We loved everything about our stay on Magnetic Island! The wildlife and fauna is amazing and the coolest thing to do on the island is to visit the Koala Sanctuary at Selina. The guide/ranger are very knowledgeable and you really get upclose with Koalas, Wombats and many other animals. Magnetic island is one of the best destinations in all of Queensland and maybe Australia as a whole. #islandtrip
A North Queensland Hidden Gem!
Magnetic Island is the perfect destination for a day trip from Townsville QLD or a weekend getaway! Affordable and incredibly friendly :) #queensland
