Woodgate Beach
16km’s of Queensland's best-kept secret
Think untouched sand, sparkling waters and some of the friendliest locals you’ll ever meet. Just 45 minutes south of Bundy and 30 minutes east of Childers, Woodgate Beach is a hidden paradise where you can kick back and soak it all in.
Stretch out along 16 kilometres of protected beach, watch the waves roll in and stake your spot in the sand. Whether you’re staying at a caravan park just metres from the water or a swanky ocean-view rental, it’s perfect for family holidays, romantic escapes or a cheeky solo adventure. Grab some fresh reef fish and chips, watch the sun sink into the water and you’ll see why people keep coming back.
THE MUST
do list
There’s something for everyone. Paddle a SUP or kayak at Theodolite Creek, cruise the scenic 4WD tracks through Burrum Coast National Park, or wander the walking trails through pristine wetlands and keep an eye out for wildlife along the way.
Forks up,
FEET DOWN
After a day exploring, tuck into local delights at one of the town’s cafés or restaurants while the waves crash in the distance.
Shake off the city chaos and stay in style. Choose beachfront villas for a touch of luxe or pitch a tent under the stars at Burrum Coast National Park and enjoy uninterrupted coastal views.
