Nelly Bay is found on Magnetic Island off the northeast coast of Australia. As the site of its ferry terminal (connecting the island to Townsville on the mainland), Nelly Bay is the main hub of the island and boasts a wide selection of dining options, not to mention pristine nearby natural attractions. A famous destination for diving and snorkelling enthusiasts, the town offers tours of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park for divers of all experience levels. Nelly Bay’s collection of beaches - such as Geoffrey Bay and West Point - are outstandingly scenic, with wallabies visible from the shoreline, and there are a number of popular walks (such as the Magnetic Island Forts Walk) for active travellers to enjoy.
