Florence Bay Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Down a gnarly dirt road you'll find my favorite beach on Magnetic Island called Radical Bay. And hidden amongst the trees there's a mysterious piano.

An old man lived here, a hermit, for over 50 years - he let no one on "his" beach. He's gone now, and you can now watch the best sunsets from this stretch of coral beach.

Horseshoe Bay

The favourite of the beaches for us as s family. There’s a playground here and the beach was really pretty. It’s quite protected and has shallow water for the kids to swim in.
