Horseshoe Bay

Radical Bay is the best bay on the island and can be reached by walking in from the main road or over the ridge from Horseshoe Bay beach. Balding Bay is just over a slight ridge on a clearly marked track commencing at the eastern end of the Horseshoe Bay beach. It is a beautiful unspoiled beach, which is a favourite of sunlovers. Florence Bay has the best snorkelling.

The walk to the Forts commencing at the Radical Bay turnoff provides a look at a special part of Australia’s WWII defences. The observant walker will be rewarded with sighting the islands famous koalas in the wild. A newly formed track has been installed from the base of The Forts down to Florence Bay.

The most unique activity on Magnetic Island is the guided jet ski tour . They have two different tours, one circumnavigating the island and the other around the northern bays. Depending on the season you will see whales, turtles, dolphins or even manta rays.
