Hervey Bay (pronounced Harvey Bay) is a coastal city 300km North of Brisbane. It boasts two very important tourist attractions, first it is the main entry point for Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island, and second it is one of the best places in Australia to view humpback whales.
Other than those two highlights, Hervey Bay is known as a quiet suburban town made up of five suburbs, Point Vernon, Pialba, Scarness, Torquay and Urangan. The Suburbs are situated along 10km stretch of coastline, which allows for swimming, fishing and other water activities.
Urangan Boat Harbour is Hervey Bay's meeting location for many different aquatic activities, including the whale watching vessels, passenger ferries, the barge to Fraser Island, and fishing charters. You can also find restaurants and cafes in this area.
The Esplanade takes in the picturesque foreshore and has great walking and cycle paths as well as picnic and play areas, a bustling marina and entry point to the botanical gardens.
