Magnetic Island Honeymoon

With its choice of sheltered bays and coves, unspoiled golden-sand beaches and pristine forest-clad hills, Magnetic Island (or ‘Maggie’ as it’s known to the locals), offers all the ingredients you need for a perfect island honeymoon or romantic getaway holiday.

Things to do and see

Experience the tiny east coast settlements of Picnic Bay, Nelly Bay, Arcadia Bay and tiny Florence Bay, exploring on foot or in a mini-moke. Along the way, discover a choice of golden-sand beaches that shelve into turquoise coves flanked by huge granite headlands. Swim and snorkel the nearby coral reefs then relax with a picnic beneath shady beachside fig trees.

To the north is Horseshoe Bay, the island's longest and most popular beach, where you can go swimming, horseback riding, kayaking and jet skiing or get a different perspective of the island on a joy ride in an open cockpit bi-plane. Just across the headland lies tiny Balding Bay, with good snorkelling above offshore coral gardens.

Wander coastal tracks to view World War II vintage gun emplacements; cast a line from the island’s beaches and rocky points for coral trout, bream, flathead, whiting, queen fish, trevally and Spanish mackerel; scuba dive the SS Yongala, which lies within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park near Townsville; or savour a sunset island cruise on an 18m schooner.
