One of Hervey Bay’s standout activities is its extensive whale-watching season, where you can see these magnificent marine mammals breaching and playing almost literally in your backyard.
Retirees can enjoy numerous recreational activities, including biking or walking along the scenic Mary to the Bay Rail Trail, which traces the coastline and immerses you in the stunning landscapes.
Hervey Bay is located just a scenic 3.5 hours north of Brisbane and only 2.5 hours from the Sunshine Coast. It is the perfect destination for those seeking the tranquil, calm blue waters of the Queensland coastline while still having easy access to the lively city of Brisbane via the highway.
