The Horseshoe Bay Rotary Lookout is accessed from a small carpark at the cove below, with a well signposted "rough" trail that takes you to an engineered gantry to atop a large rock. It's an adventure The sights when you get there are well worth the extra effort.

This water park is located on the waterfront of the town. It is a great spot for the kids to safely play and get very wet, which is what it is all about.
6. Queens Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 14 reviews
Queens Beach boasts a long white sandy beach, offering visitors and locals a 5km stroll with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Facing North - North East, Queens Beach is protected from Bowen's South Easterly breeze, resulting in many glassy days, perfect for spotting whales during winter. Queens Beach is also a great spot to fish and relax by the water's edge.

8. The Big Mango
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 192 reviews
Australia’s favourite BIG THING (in our opinion anyway!) is also the home of Bowen's accredited Visitor Information Centre! Situated on the A1 Bruce Hwy with sweeping views of the Whitsunday coast it’s the perfect pull over during the epic East Coast Australian Roadtrip. Get your selfie then pop into the accredited Information Centre on site for all the info on our great state of Queensland. Grab an icy cold mango sorbet and learn about Bowen, the wonderful Whitsunday region, book a Whitsunday experience, grab a map, guide book, have a chat and a cuppa! Happy Travels!

Always wanted to see the Big Mango. Great little stop to get a photo and sit down and have some ice cream. The Mango ice cream was beautiful as was the mango sorbet. The kids had the chocolate ice cream and that was beautiful too. Served in cups the servings were massive. Picked up a hat pin for my collection too lol. The ladies in the information area were great. Lots of info and brochures and advice. Definitely recommend a stop here.
