Tropical Palms Resort & 4WD Hire

You surely can just settle into Picnic Bay! Take a stroll on the jetty and feel yourself unwind or if you’re feeling a bit more energetic head up to Hawkings Point and breathe in the views. Come stay with us and it’s all within metres.

Picnic Bay because…

It’s where you settle in without trying too hard. Restaurant Elsie, Maggie Island Brewery, and the Picnic Bay Hotel set the tone for easy days and good company. The heritage-listed jetty stretches out over the water, made for fishing, slow walks, and watching the light change over Nobby’s Headland. Beach days roll on and the playground keeps little ones happy, and really, what more could you want 🌊

Endeavour Falls…..the epitome of an Australian swimming hole. Just a short walk and yes….so worth it!

It’s not too late to tick Endeavour Falls off your 2026 bucket list.

Go see it. It’s worth it.

Picnic Bay….you little ripper! Still some school hols left, pop over for a visit!

School Holidays on Magnetic Island 6/7: Fishing and Jetty Fun 🎣

The Picnic Bay Jetty is a perfect spot for family fun. Cast a line, watch the boats glide by, or just enjoy the ocean breeze together. Keep an eye on the fish swimming below and take in some quiet moments as a family.

Picnic Bay has it all, restaurants, a kids’ playground, BBQs, and beach space, so a morning of fishing can easily turn into a full, relaxed day at the beach. Our tip? Early mornings and late afternoons are prime for fish feeding and soft, golden light.
