The Ultimate List of Family Friendly Things to do in
Beautiful hervey bay
With its safe, sheltered waters, mild weather, whales and easy access to World Heritage listed Fraser Island (K’Gari), Hervey Bay is one of Australia’s ultimate seaside family holiday destinations. Located just 3.5 hours drive north of Brisbane, Lonely Planet describes Hervey Bay as one of the Fraser Coast’s most alluring honeypots. Go For a Swim at The Beach
Thanks to the protection from K’gari (Fraser Island), Hervey Bay’s beaches feature unusually calm water. With 13 kilometres of beachfront to choose from, it’s incredibly easy for families to find the perfect spot. Top beach spots for families include Torquay, Scarness, Urangan and Pialba. If you have time to explore further afield, take a drive out to Craignish, Toogoom or Dundowran Beach. 52
