Wake up each morning in the pristine
ambience of Magnetic Island. Over two-thirds
of the island is protected National Park
providing a haven for the native wildlife,
like rock wallabies, possums, and over 100
species of birdlife. Magnetic Island is home
to Northern Australia’s largest colony of
koalas living in the wild. Tropical fish and
marine life live in the surrounding coral
reefs and tranquil waters. Explore the land
or the waters and discover the island’s
unique surrounds.
Lose yourself for a day, a week, or forever
on Magnetic Island. You will notice that
it’s like no other island getaway. The
contrasting landscape of this World Heritage
listed island makes this natural destination
truly distinctive. The rocky granite
headlands fuse with the 23 bays and beaches
studded with magnificent Hoop pine trees,
creating a dramatic coastline. Visible from
the sea, Mount Cook hovers above the
eucalypt woods and green vine forests. The
island provides the perfect setting for a
unique escape.
Being in a naturally beautiful place, with
such good weather, it is not surprising to
find an abundance of outdoor activities,
especially on the water. These range from
the exhilarating, like the Jetski Tour
around the island, to the absolutely
relaxing, sailing in a quiet bay, stretched
out, perfectly content.
There is a choice of sailing and cruising
trips with each one different, but all
offering a relaxing day out on the water,
with swimming, snorkelling over coral reefs
or just lazing in the sun. Fishing charters
and tours of the island by 4WD, Harley
Davisons or Mokes are also on offer. There
is horse and pony riding, tennis and lawn
bowls. For all golfing enthusiasts a round
at the Country Club in Picnic Bay is a must.
There are
shops
in all four main residential bays, Many
shops have locally produced items and
souvenirs for sale.
Not only has Magnetic Island a good range of
shops, but also a wide variety of excellent
restaurants and many take-away places with
special tropical menus.
Whether dining in a softly lit
restaurant, or eating take-away on the
beach while watching the lights of
Townsville, there is nothing quite like a
balmy, tropical, island night.
