Horseshoe Bay

Horseshoe Bay is an iconic destination and one of


Queensland’s best kept secrets. The bay is framed by giant
granite outcrops protecting a 150m long cove, full of
natural underwater wonders and a man-made sculpture.
Snorkel off both sides of the bay and you will see different
species of corals and fish around the rocks.

 High tide will give you best access to fish and corals around the rocks on both sides of the bay.

 Low tide provides better access to the corals and marine life in the centre of the bay itself.

 ‘Bywa’, the man-made sculpture, is situated a


little off the rocks on the right-hand side of the
bay, with signage on the beach telling its story.
Visible at low tide.
