Hervey Bay

Hervey Bay is a coastal city with beaches so beautiful even the whales have caught wind of them.

Between July and November, you can spot humpback whales raising their young in this broad bay on Queensland’s southern coast. See these graceful creatures up close on a cruise or try spotting from the sandy shoreline. Check out the esplanade for casual cafés or hit the marina for chic waterfront dining. On a Friday evening, you can meet local artists at the weekly markets here.

"Our room said marina view, but we had trees in the way, which made it hard to see. But by the last night, and it wasn’t the resort’s fault we had inconsiderate people who thought it was acceptable to smoke on the balcony, even though it was a non- smoking resort."
