Outdoor & Nature

The largest seasonal freshwater lagoon on Magnetic Island, reached via a short, easy boardwalk track just off Horseshoe Bay Road. A great spot for birdwatching, especially during the wet season when magpie... geese and other waterbirds gather to breed.

A short stroll around Geoffrey Bay in Arcadia brings visitors face to face with resident allied rock wallabies, most active around sunrise and sunset as they hop between the granite boulders. A free, easy... wildlife encounter combined with snorkelling over the bay's fringing reef.

The biggest and most popular beach on Magnetic Island, sheltered by granite headlands and lined with cafes, shops and picnic areas. There's a swimming enclosure, a kids' playground, fishing and equipment... hire for jet skis, kayaks and paddleboards right on the foreshore.
