Only a short drive south from Gladstone are the picturesque coastal communities of Boyne Island and Tannum Sands. Here you will experience a relaxed coastal lifestyle centred on superb beaches, riverside walkways, parklands and recreational activities.

These ‘twin’ communities are linked by a bridge across the beautiful Boyne River. Boyne Island – the island you can drive to – offers a quality mix of residential, business, shopping, industry and environment where foreshore parks overlook boats, outrigger crews and fishing on the calm river waters.

Boyne Island is also home to Lilley’s Beach, a popular weekend camping spot for locals and tourists alike! Lilley’s Beach is a sensitive foreshore area that extends along 1.7 kilometres and may be accessed by 4WD. Camping is permitted at the northern end of Lilley’s Beach, where you will also experience sensational sunsets. Permits required and obtained through Gladstone Regional Council. With only a small variation in seasonal water temperatures, the waters of Tannum Sands and Boyne Island are perfect for year-round swimming. The area is a popular stopover for the winter ‘migration’ from the south!
