Bowen QLD
Bowen in QLD is situated at the top of the Whitsundays. It offers visitors a veritable paradise with eight beautiful beaches to enjoy and explore.
Bowen is unlike the other North Queensland coastal towns and cities. There is something about the town – the impossibly wide streets, the easiness of the lifestyle, the rural unpretentiousness. It’s these characteristics which make no concessions to would-be developers or visitors from the south. There is an image of the languidness of a city slowly melting under a hot tropical sun.
This is a charming old-style town in an area where the rest of the world has moved on. For complex reasons the constant stream of travellers and backpackers heading north tends not to pause in Bowen. In 2001 it was found that only 6% of the one million travellers on the Bruce Highway turned off to go to Bowen.
One of the many beautiful bays near Bowen QLD
Yet part of the area’s appeal lies in the unspoiled bays to the north which boast some of the most beautiful beaches in the tropical north. There is Horseshoe Bay, Murrays Bay, Rose Bay, Grays, Kings and Queens Beaches, the Town Beach and Dalrymple Point. Bowen’s biggest selling point is that it is genuinely different … and genuinely delightful.
The inner reef is just metres from many of Bowen’s bays, within minutes of donning your snorkel you can be swimming above a rich environment of corals and fish.
At low tide you can walk towards the North Head Lighthouse and be amazed by the bountiful sea life, admiring giant red starfish, feather stars and green sea turtles.
Coupled with a rich diversity of local produce and seafood, Bowen is the perfect place to unwind with your family.
