7 A natural paradise for

Beaches and Bays Where the rocky headlands meet the sea, many secluded beaches have formed. Some so private, they can only be reached on foot or by boat. These hidden treasures include: the charming Rocky Bay, a very private oasis resting between rugged headlands; Radical Bay, the Island’s pride and a yachties paradise; sparkling Balding Bay, a holiday maker’s haven; Arthur and Florence Bay, abounding in colourful reef life; and the striking, remote Five Beach Bay perfect for the boating and snorkelling enthusiast. Not to be forgotten is the outstanding West Point; this hidden gem is accessible via dirt road and is a popular spot for fi shing and sipping wine while taking in a superb sunset over the water.

Disappear for the day in a hidden paradise and be enchanted by the gentle beauty of Mother Nature’s miracles. Take pleasure in the soothing song of the ocean as you laze on the warm golden sand and cool off in the clear blue water. Better yet escape, relax and discover on the deck of a yacht with one of the quality charters available from the Island.

For a more social experience, Magnetic Island’s four residential bays each feature stunning beaches that are all easily accessible and suitable for the whole family. Picnic Bay Beach is the quieter option, with its rustic charm and a jetty perfect for the keen fi sherman. Nelly Bay Beach is ideal for a casual afternoon stroll and provides a glorious backdrop for

at Horseshoe Bay. Large areas of pineapples and fruit trees were planted resulting in Horseshoe Bay becoming the centre of a successful pineapple industry. By 1928 there were life saving clubs at Picnic Bay and Arcadia and groups of young people began building huts on land they leased or purchased. Simultaneously families from the mainland began to purchase their own houses for weekend and longer holidays. In those days, Magnetic Island was predominately a holiday destination with guesthouses popping up at Cockle, Nelly, Alma and Florence Bays and later at Horseshoe Bay and West Point. With a history as colourful as the landscape itself it is no wonder thousands of people now call Magnetic Island home. To fi nd out more visit the History and Craft Centre in the old Picnic Bay School, open daily from 10am to 2.30pm, where you can also view a wonderful collection of old photographs and artefacts. Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef is undisputed as one of the world’s most important and beautiful natural assets. It is the largest natural feature on earth stretching more than 2,300km along the northeast coast of Australia from the northern tip of Queensland to just north of Bundaberg. Best of all, this natural wonder is easily accessible from Magnetic Island. Several cruise companies do regular trips to various areas of the Great Barrier Reef with a hassle-free pick up and drop off service that will ensure a quality experience for all visitors. Don’t miss your opportunity to bear witness to the rich tapestry of brilliantly coloured coral, fi sh and other marine life inhabiting this majestic underwater landscape. Experience the breathtaking crystal clear waters while scuba diving or snorkelling over the reef and prepare yourself for the overwhelming beauty of the world’s largest living organism. Manta rays, octopus, crabs, shellfi sh, starfi sh, butterfl y, angel and parrot fi sh, the list is almost as long as the reef itself. If that isn’t enough, there are a plethora of pristine waterways that surround the famous reef not to be missed. One day may not be enough, but however long or short the experience, you will be enchanted by this natural phenomenon.

The wealth of activities available on the Island is almost as astounding as its natural beauty.

Whether you seek relaxation or a heart pumping adventure, Magnetic Island has everything you need to ensure your tropical escape is unforgettable. The selection of tours on offer allows you to explore every corner of the luscious landscape with the greatest of ease. Land, sea or air we’ve got you covered.

Take a unique 4WD tour and discover the more rugged bush areas, or kickback and take in the sights from a stylish stretch jeep. For the more traditional, bus and taxi tours provide a great alternative with valuable local insight. If you prefer to set your own pace, take advantage of the trail bikes, mini mokes, scooters and bicycles for hire. For something really unique enjoy the ocean views on horseback, or from the air in a bi-plane. Embrace the culture of Magnetic Island in the stylish art galleries and fabulous cabaret restaurant, enjoy a spot of tennis, or play golf on the dazzling green golf course.

Once you’ve enjoyed what the Island’s stunning landscape has to offer, set your sights on the water. The area surrounding Magnetic Island is part of the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and plays host to a wonderful array of tropical fish and colourful coral reefs. Take a guided reef or sea kayak tour, learn to dive through the renowned dive courses available, or seize the opportunity and hire your own diving or snorkelling equipment to explore this amazing underwater world.

Float the day away on your chartered yacht or cruise, embark on a fast paced jet or water ski adventure. There are sailing catamarans for hire, as well as sailboards, surf skis, canoes and aqua bikes.

Explore Magnetic Island’s secluded bays and get up close and personal with the incredible marine life of dolphins, turtles and sea eagles. Whatever the activity, plunge in and let your island adventure begin.

Magnetic Island offers you the best of both worlds. A stunning natural landscape of tranquil beaches and dramatic terrain, combined with all the conveniences of modern life.

The local community consists of up to 3000 permanent residents, enjoying a unique island lifestyle minus the usual sacrifices. As the only island in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park that offers freehold title, Magnetic Island residents enjoy all the benefits of an established community.

Visitors will appreciate the diverse range of services available which provide convenient options for self-catering, a fine choice of fashions to add to your summer wardrobe, through to booking a relaxing massage by a skilled professional - all at local rather than resort prices.

Make the most of your stay by exploring every inch of the Island’s landscape by hiring a fun island car or scooter, and if island life really appeals to you, there are promising investment opportunities available and real estate agents on hand to guide you on your way. The benefits of this unique destination are truly astounding and no one is excluded, from the serious holiday maker to the entrepreneur, we can accommodate you.

Whatever you need, whatever you want, Magnetic Island gives you so much more.
