Head for the River or the Ocean for Fishing

Ideal for fishing enthusiasts as the resort is in the perfect spot for easy and quick access to all the major fishing hot-spots dotted around the region. You can launch a boat at 1770 marina and from there navigate yourself to the accessible inland rivers, or try other fishing spots further out around the outer Great Barrier Reef.

For information on fishing you will find zoning facts, maps and more by visiting the Marine Park Authority website. If you would prefer to join a fishing charter, or hire a boat, there are plenty of operators in the local area.
