The Mackay Marina: A short drive from the Mackay City Centre, the Marina Village offers magnificent views of the Harbour, with breezy walks and contemporary dining options available. Tip: Breakfast is served at Mantra's Latitude 21 Restaurant daily from 6.30am, with spectacular views of the Marina. Explore the northern beaches of Mackay: Take a self-guided drive down the Mackay-Bucasia Road. Stop in at Eimeo Beach, patrolled during the school holidays. It’s a little slice of paradise without the crowds! Tip: ‘Lunch with a million-dollar-view’ at the historic Eimeo Pacific Hotel is an experience you should not miss! Fishing and exploring: If you’re up for some fishing or water sport activities, head to Shoal Point; the most northern beach along that stretch of coastline. The kids can enjoy the playground on the esplanade or take a dip in the sea. It’s worth staying for sunset, as the colours are spectacular.
