It is a natural bay between the Queensland mainland and nearby Fraser Island. The local economy relies on tourism which is based primarily around whale watching in Platypus Bay to the north, ferry access to Fraser Island, accessible recreational fishing and boating and the natural north facing, calm beaches with wide undeveloped foreshore zones.
There are 3 piers we love to visit at Scarness, Torquay and Urangan Pier. Each are accessible via the esplanade with their own picture perfect parks located that their entrance. The Urangan Pier stretches almost 1km out into the ocean.
Hervey Bay Beach is something where at low tide the water disappears back out into the ocean revealing a huge white sandy playground.
