Mackay


Description

Tropical, picturesque and relaxed, Mackay city offers everything you could want from a major regional centre. The blue Pioneer River flows past the city's historical buildings, while stately palm trees fringe the main street with shopping hotspots. There's plenty of magical spots for a picnic by the river and places to dine al fresco by the marina, with fabulous local seafood. The botanic gardens, beautiful beaches and the world-class marina are just minutes from the city heart.

Mackay is set within 31 beautiful beaches, ranging from patrolled swimming spots just minutes from the city centre,to spectacular coastal national parks. There's miles of untouched coastline, all lapped by the warm, tropical waters of the Coral Sea. Mackay's northern beaches offer some top spots for swimming, fishing and boating. There's plenty of accommodation choices as well, from luxury resort to natural campsites by national parks.
