## Visit Picnic Bay

Things to do

Reviews

#### See koalas in the wild, laze on the beach, snorkel around a coral reef or hike along a rugged trail in one of Magnetic Island’s most idyllic bays.

Picnic Bay forms Magnetic Island’s southern tip. Its name refers to the bay itself and the picturesque little settlement nestled on its shores. With a population of just over 350, it is only a small place, but there is a lot to do, with a beach, coral reef, golf course and shipwrecks to explore.

Head down to the beach first to take in the bay’s stunning vistas as you stroll over the golden sands. Jump in for a swim to cool off, then take a walk out along the jetty. Since nearby Nelly Bay got its ferry terminal, the jetty is no longer used by mainland ferries and is now the domain of local fishermen and walkers.

While fishing is allowed, most visitors prefer to see the fish swimming among the coral of the island’s fringing reef. Snorkel through this hidden world of wonder and watch for turtles, which occasionally pass by.

Take a hike along the coast or into the hills to experience the abundant nature of Magnetic Island. With over half of the island covered in national park, it is a haven for Australia’s iconic wildlife, such as koalas and rock wallabies.

Climb up to Hawkings Point Lookout to take in the panoramic views of the ocean and mainland. A short walk farther on takes you to Rocky Bay, another popular beach for swimming and snorkeling.

Head the opposite way along the coast from Picnic Bay to Cockle Bay to see the wreck of the SS City of Adelaide. The doomed ship ran aground in 1916 and, at low tide, offers a glimpse of the plants and birds that have made it their home.

Stay a night or two in Picnic Bay to sample the finer things in life, whether you hit the golf course at the Magnetic Island Country Club or dine at the bay’s restaurants. Of course, you can’t leave before you have enjoyed a picnic beneath a shady tree with views over the bay. Only then can you say you’ve seen Picnic Bay.

Picnic Bay is a quiet and somewhat more remote part of the island, however there are some great hikes, a swimming area and a pub within walking distance.

### 4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

You would need some sort of transportation if you stayed at Picnic Bay. There is a Pub and a couple of little restaurants available. A quiet part of Magnetic Island.
