Baffle Creek
Drop the tinny, pitch the swag
Where the map thins out and the days stretch long, Coastal North is all about slowing down.
Think quiet creeks, empty beaches and a whole lot of space to breathe. From casting a line at Baffle Creek to beach walks where your footprints are the only ones around, this is the Bundaberg region at its most laid-back.
Follow the
Tracks
Where the creek drifts into the ocean and the pace slows to holiday mode, Coastal North is all about quiet beaches, sparkling estuaries, and days that stretch as long as you like. Cast a line at Baffle Creek, wander the sand at Moore Park Beach, or launch the tinny for a lazy river adventure, the choice is yours.
Expect long horizons, few crowds, and enough space to breathe. Whether you’re after a family day out, a cheeky solo escape, or a weekend of boat and beach life, Coastal North has the kind of laid-back charm that makes you wonder why you didn’t stop here sooner.
Wheelin'
North, Off the Beaten Track
Spin the forby off beaten paths like Boolboonda Tunnel Road or Miara Beach access, drop the tinny in Baffle Creek, or wander the bush and stumble across spots that only locals know about. Throw a line in the water, kick back by the campfire, and swap yarns under a sky full of stars. Coastal North is proper Aussie adventure.
