Harbour Beach

Harbour Beach Mackay is a long beach located close to the marina and port, approximately 10 kilometers away from the center of town.

Despite some changes over the years, with high-rise buildings now overshadowing the shoreline and marina, Harbour Beach still draws visitors who describe it as a real gem. It is a haven for spectacular views of the ocean and a perfect spot for fishing enthusiasts, with numerous fishing spots where various fish species can be caught.

Apart from Harbour Beach, there are other beaches in Mackay worth visiting, such as Bucasia Beach and Town Beach. Bucasia Beach is one of the longest beaches in Mackay and offers shaded areas, picnic tables, barbecues, showers, and a public toilet. Town Beach, on the other hand, features a playground, barbecue facilities, and a skate park. This is when the weather is mild and sunny, allowing visitors to enjoy sunny days at any of the top beaches nearby.

To get to Mackay, visitors can either fly to Mackay Airport or drive down from Brisbane, taking about 10 hours to cover the distance. Once in Mackay, visitors can rent a car or use public transportation to access the beaches and other attractions in the region.
