Getting around is best on foot or bike along the dedicated paths, though you'll want a car for exploring beyond this peaceful pocket of Townsville.

The Strand

The Strand serves up oceanfront bliss with its scenic 2.2km promenade hugging Townsville's sparkling Coral Sea.

Castle Hill's pink granite monolith offers the best panoramic views in Townsville. Walking trails range from easy strolls to challenging summit climbs where you'll spot native rock wallabies and diverse birdlife. History buffs will appreciate the WWII bunkers while fitness enthusiasts can tackle the various hiking paths through natural bushland areas. The surrounding residential neighborhoods provide a glimpse into authentic Queensland living away from tourist crowds. Visitors should pack water and snacks for hiking adventures since dining options are limited.
