Mackay City & Beaches
The vibrant tropical city of Mackay has a score of hidden treasures and exciting experiences waiting to be uncovered – by you! Whether you wish to dine alfresco, shop the boutique stores, go for a paddle in the calm Coral Sea or mingle with the locals at the bustling bars and nightclubs, Mackay’s got you covered! Enjoy the year-round, near perfect weather at the brand new Bluewater Lagoon and Quay, idyllically located right at the river’s edge. Check out the beautiful botanic gardens, stunning palm fringed beaches and the world-class Mackay Marina Village found only minutes from the CBD.
Flowing alongside the CBD is the must-see Mackay icon, the sparkling blue Pioneer River! You and your family can watch the dramatically changing river landscape from the Pioneer Promenade boardwalk and rotunda as the mighty six metre tide works its magic. If you are looking for more of an educational experience, take the self-guided Heritage Walk past 20 lovingly restored heritage listed buildings and admire Queensland’s best collection of art deco architecture. Also see the funky Artspace Mackay, the Mackay Leisure Centre and the impressive Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre where you might catch your favourite national or international act!
