Great Sandy Marine Park

Great Sandy Marine Park, located off Queensland's coast, encompasses diverse ecosystems such as seagrass meadows, mangroves, rocky shores, reefs, and sandy beaches. These habitats support a rich array of wildlife, including whales, turtles, dugongs, grey nurse sharks, fish, corals, and birds. The park offers activities like camping, boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, scuba diving, and snorkeling. Notable features include the Simpson and Hardie artificial reefs and the ex-HMAS Tobruk, providing excellent opportunities to appreciate aquatic life. The park extends from Baffle Creek to Double Island Point, including Hervey Bay, Great Sandy Strait, Tin Can Inlet, and the waters off Fraser Island.
