Did you know that the Burdekin Shire has over 200 kilometres of beaches within its boundaries?
That's more than the distance from Ayr to Airlie Beach. The Burdekin Shire is home to some of the most pristine and diverse coastal environments in Queensland, with sandy shores, rocky headlands, mangroves and access to coral reefs. Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway, a fishing adventure or a wildlife encounter, you'll find it in the Burdekin Shire. Here are some of the best beaches to explore in this amazing region:
- Lynch’s Beach, Alva: This is a popular spot for fishing, diving and kite surfing, as well as for camping and caravaning. Situated along the roadway, you'll find the Ayr Surf Lifesavers Club, and your gateway to the S.S. Yongala, one of the world's best wreck dives, where you can see an incredible array of fresh and saltwater marine life. At low tide, the beach makes for excellent exploring with hundreds of soldier crabs, endless shells and an abundance of wildlife.
- Wunjunga Beach: This is a secluded and scenic beach, ideal for birdwatching, fishing and picnicking. One of the best ways to enjoy all that Wunjunga has to offer is by setting up a tent or caravan at the Funny Dunny Park camping grounds that offer limited short-stay camping for self-contained vehicles.
