In addition to sun-drenched beaches and a sense of coastal calm, Yeppoon also has a proud arts scene, perfectly reflected in the vibrant street art dotted around the town and coastline. There’s a wealth of street art spotting opportunities at the Yeppoon Lagoon and nearby Skate Park. The bright, friendly faces painted on the walls of the Skate Park amenities block, reflect the playful, youthful character of the area. Part of the Yeppoon Foreshore and Town Centre Revitalisation Project they add a renewed sense of life and colour. The Yeppoon Town Centre Carpark, located on Queen Street, doubles as a multi-level art gallery. Spend some time exploring each level and you’ll find a wealth of artworks from various artists, ranging from sprawling full-wall murals to smaller pieces hidden here and there. Take in the striking colours of the giant lion fish and the lively faces of local musical duo, Busby Marou. Smile at the image of Pram Dog, a tribute to a well known local always seen pushing her beloved dog in a pram. Scope out artworks dedicated to classic cars, local birdlife and a very clever piece of a little girl with an umbrella. In Emu Park, take a visit to the Main Beach Bathing Pavilion adorned with whimsical characters representing the halcyon days of beach bathing. Created by artist Simon McLean its a fantastic tribute to beach life in the early 20th century.
