Such a beautiful fresh water lake, only the depth changes the colour, so turquoise in the shallows. Try cleaning your jewellery in the sand. I have cleaned my watch and watch face many times, that tells you how soft the sand is. So pure.

An easy walk; some stairs (handy tip: take a water bottle) and then rewarded with spectacular views of the amazing sandblow. Kids: Take your boogie board if you want the thrill of riding down the sand dune. Great little adventure for families for an hour or two. Beautiful to watch the sunset if you’re timing is right (check sunset times)

This walk goes for miles - literally. I can't think of anywhere else in the world with such a relaxed walking environment, but complete with discrete toilets, picnic seating, regular access to the beach - and of course with a range of coffee shops, restaurants, ice-cream shops, motels and pubs just on the other side of the road. I hope that is never over-developed, so that it retains its ambience. 20 paces and you are off the walking track, and walking along the endless beach front, with a wide, gently sloping sandy beach, Frazer Island in the distance, and great shade spots under the bordering trees. Truly a paradise.

Great idea to cool off in the summer Australian heat, this is a free attraction and will most definitely keep the kids entertained for a while. Large park next door too, all round thumbs up ????????

We had a great time catching a lot of fish - many had to be thrown back but we got some decent ones - if you like fishing then you will love the pier.
6. Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens

These gardens are surprisingly large for a smaller town with plants well labelled. Stand out features for us included the small Chinese Garden, the Orchid House, the lake with its resident turtles, and the various trails beside a watercourse and through natural bush. We thought the planting of a tree for when a local resident turns 100 an idea that others could emulate. There is a cafe though it was early in the day when we were there and it was closed - unsure if Covid might be a reason too, as well as a children's playground, a laybrinth, toilets and parking areas onsite (though they might fill up in peak holiday season). A very enjoyable way to spend a peaceful couple of hours.

This place is simply amazing. Pulling up on the edge of the water on our 4wd Vehicle, we were it ready for what greeted us. A true natural playground of beautiful, clean, fresh, drinkable water. We floated, swam and horsed around in the water and it was glorious... highly recommended.
8. Queens Park

This park is nicely maintained and has a lot on offer. Allow enough time to wander around the whole park or you could miss something. There’s a beautiful military tribute including bronze statues and audio information, rotundas, waterfall, lovely views of the Mary River, interesting trees (not sure what they were) and a replica Mary Ann train. The train is only available on Thursday mornings and one Sunday a month. It travels around one side of the park and back and charges a small fee which is well and truely worth it as run by volunteers.

7 of us made the trip to feed the dolphins. What a lovely group of volunteers you have there. Friendly, informative and welcoming. We were lucky that 5 dolphins came in that morning and as there were not too many people we got to feed them 2 fish each. We were not rushed at all and the lovely volunteer was only to happy to answer the questions we had. So happy we made the choice to go to Tin Can Bay and have the opportunity to feed the wild dolphins and actually learn about them and their history. If you have small kids this is an EXCELLANT cheap $10 experience to do. It’s so worth it! 5 stars ***** ps: just read a 2star review and that person must be one of those that fault everything all the time. Some people just like complaining!
