Mackay Information

Tropical, picturesque and relaxed, Mackay city offers everything you could want from a major regional centre. The blue Pioneer River flows past the city's historical buildings, while stately palm trees fringe the main street with shopping hotspots. There’s plenty of magical spots for a picnic by the river and places to dine al fresco by the marina on the fabulous local seafood. The newly opened botanic gardens, beautiful beaches and a world-class marina are just minutes from the city heart.

If salt is in your veins, Mackay is within 31 beautiful beaches, ranging from patrolled swimming spots just minutes from the city centre, spectacular coastal national parks, to miles of untouched coastline, all lapped by the warm, tropical waters of the Coral Sea. Mackay's northern beaches offer some top spots for swimming, fishing and boating.
