As spring warms into summer, Bowen comes alive with crystal clear waters, golden beaches and a laid back tropical vibe that makes it one of North Queensland’s most treasured getaways. At the heart of this coastal paradise are two local gems: Horseshoe Bay Resort and The Café – together offering the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and flavour.
Stay by the Sea at Horseshoe Bay Resort
Nestled by the iconic Horseshoe Bay, this resort is a true Whitsunday Escape. With beachfront units, family friendly cabins and powered caravan sites shaded by palms, it’s a destination for every type of traveller. Guests can hire snorkelling gear and spend their days snorkelling off the bay, discovering colourful reefs, marine life and underwater sculpture, or simply relaxing with toes in the sand. No visit to Horseshoe Bay is complete without the short walk to the Rotary Lookout. From the top, sweeping views unfold across the coast and the sparkling curve of Horseshoe Bay. It is a picture perfect spot. The resort’s inviting atmosphere makes it easy to slow down, soak up the sunshine, and let the ocean set the pace of your holiday.
Flavours of Bowen at the Café
Just a short stroll away, The Café at Horseshoe Bay captures the region’s fresh, tropical spirit. Known for its warm service and vibrant menu. It’s the perfect spot to refuel after a swim or start your day with a locally roasted coffee. Freshly made breakfasts, wholesome lunches and Tuesday Night Pizza and Parmi Night showcase the flavours of the Whitsundays, while the café’s relaxed style makes every visit feel like catching up with friends. The week-ends come alive with live music from 5.30pm to 8.30pm on Friday and Saturday or a lazy Sunday Session from 12pm to 4pm
