Family fun
Finding activities to keep the whole family occupied is simply on the Fraser Coast - it's the perfect family getaway with a host of activities and diverse attractions.
The region's safe, calm waters are perfect for swimming, boating and fishing, while the white sandy beaches are ideal for sandcastles, beach cricket and other family games.
Discover an aquatic adventure playground at Hervey Bay’s Water Park on the Esplanade at Pialba (opens late 2009).
Train parks, space nets, skate parks guarantee unlimited fun at Fraser Coast's many playgrounds. For more information on parks and gardens click here.
Take a walk, rollerblade or rent a bike and ride along 14km of shared pathway along the Hervey Bay Esplanade from Urangan to Point Vernon and return via the 6km Link Mobility Corridor, a purpose built pedestrian and bike path through the centre of the city. Bikes, trikes and tandems are available for hire along the Esplanade.
It’s never too cold to swim at the Hervey Bay Aquatic Centre, Boundary Road, Torquay or the Maryborough Aquatic Centre in John Street.
