Right on the doorstep of arguably Bowen’s most beautiful beach sits the quiet, secluded haven of Horseshoe Bay Resort.
Referred to as a tropical oasis where the bush really does meet the beach, the park overlooks glistening sea and crescent moons of sand, with native plants and rugged rocks providing shade from the glorious sunshine.
With four beaches in walking distance, a cafe next door and restaurant nearby, guests love the park’s laidback pace, and cherish being able to relax and stay put if they choose.
What sets Horseshoe Bay Resort apart is the views.
Around the edge of the park, large, open camp sites are raised on the natural hills to have premium views over four local beaches, so visitors never forget they’re in one of the most beautiful parts of the world.
With a recreation room, and comfortable camp kitchens with hotplates, kettles, BBQs and fridges, all the amenities you could need are at your fingertips, and it would be very easy to stay for good.
For those more into glamping than camping, the resort offers an array of accommodation, including the bay view cabins, a rainbow of stand-alone units. Each has a relaxing verandah where you can enjoy a glass of wine, looking out over what was voted one of Australia’s Top 20 beaches.
Garden view cabins are surrounded by palms, ferns and flowers, all tastefully furnished with beachy décor that brings the outside in.
With a range of accommodation that suits all budgets, for groups of up to seven people, you’re spoilt for choice.
Many visitors spend their days snorkelling in the pristine waters around the campsite, but if swimming in the sea isn’t your thing, don’t worry, there’s a charming pool waiting for you.
With four boat ramps in easy access, fishing enthusiasts can catch barramundi, grey, spotted or large Spanish mackerel, coral trout and more – with guests often bringing back a feast to cook on the barbie.
Anyone looking for a true beach holiday can find it at Horseshoe Bay Resort.
