Visitors can look forward to sampling local cuisine at the array of cafes and restaurants fringing the streets, swimming at a string of pristine beaches stretching from Neilson's Park to the north to Kellys Beach to the south, and enjoying a leisurely stroll along the scenic Esplanade. Other highlights include Mon Repos Turtle Centre and Turtle Encounters, Miller Street, Woongarra Scenic Drive, Great Sandy Marine Park, Coral Coast Pathway and the Kanaka Walls and Basin.
