The Picnic Bay

What you can expect

Picnic Bay is one Magnetic Island location that is a must during your visit to the island. Being the island’s main town, you’ll also find the golf course, mall, hotel, restaurants and police station at Picnic Bay amongst a number of other things. Up until recently, the jetty was also the entrance point for guests visiting Magnetic Island before the terminal was changed to nearby Nelly Bay. A favourite spot for fishing, picnicking, swimming and simply relaxing, you’ll find beautiful blue waters that meet the shore, an assortment of picnic tables and free BBQ’s and ultimately a location that epitomises everything you want in a holiday destination. If you’re a keen fisherman you’ll love the Picnic Bay Jetty that stretches approximately 800 feet in to the water and is often laden with keen fisherman vying for the biggest catch. Visiting when there’s a full moon? Picnic Bay Jetty is also the perfect sighting location offering one of the best perspectives. Picnic Bay offers visitors a relaxing destination boasting many natural wonders to enjoy.
