Bowen

Bowen is the northern jewel in The Whitsundays’ crown, located on the shores of Edgecumbe Bay, 45 minutes north of Airlie Beach.

This picturesque seaside town is a relaxed beachcomber’s paradise with award-winning, palm-fringed beaches, beautiful bays and a warm tropical climate. Largely undiscovered, Bowen offers accommodation ranging from backpackers and caravan parks to 4-star absolute beachfront apartments. Bowen is home to eight incredible beaches surrounding the town, offering scenic walking tracks with panoramic views, and stunning fringing coral reefs, perfect for snorkelling, just a few metres offshore.

SNORKEL straight off the beach at Horseshoe Bay (home to the Underwater Marine Sculpture Bywa) and Rose Bay.
