HOLIDAYS IN HERVEY BAY
Hervey Bay is one of Queensland's best natural holiday destinations offering the world's closest whale watching encounters with humpback whales (late July to early November) as well as easy access to World Heritage listed Fraser Island; the world's largest sand island.
Hervey Bay's safe sheltered waters make it an aquatic paradise perfect for year round swimming, diving, sailing, water sports and fishing. Dotted along the Hervey Bay Esplanade are alfresco cafes, shops, parklands, picnic areas, playgrounds, piers and a vibrant marina.
