Capricorn Coast Trip Planner

Welcome to Capricorn Coast!

The Capricorn Coast offers unforgettable adventures, a warm climate and welcoming hospitality. Located along Australia's central Queensland coast, the Capricorn Coast straddles the Tropic of Capricorn, after which it is named, and is home to small coastal towns, islands and some inland areas. Scenic beaches with sparkling white sand makes the area appealing for those looking for a relaxing or fun getaway. Hervey Bay, just north of the Sunshine Coast, is the stepping off point for trips to Fraser Island, which is considered the world's largest sand island and is particularly popular for 4WD jeep tours. The inland city of Rockhampton offers a mix of a laid-back country town lifestyle with modern influences, while in the nearby town of Mt. Morgan visitors can learn about the history of gold in the area. The Capricorn Caves, located north of Rockhampton and Mt. Morgan, offer some of the most breathtaking caves in Queensland. Yeppoon and Emu Park are coastal towns northeast of Rockhampton. Yeppoon is considered to be the gateway to the Capricorn Coast while Emu Park is home to the well-known attraction, the Singing Ship monument. Located across from both towns is the popular Great Keppel Island, which is part of the Great Barrier Reef and is celebrated for being an island paradise with pristine beaches. And, those looking for a little of everything need not look further than Gladstone, which offers the perfect blend of reef, coast and country.
