Nelly Bay

📖 About Nelly Bay

Nelly Bay is the gateway beach of Magnetic Island, a short ferry ride from Townsville in tropical North Queensland. Sheltered by the island's headlands, the bay offers calm, shallow waters ideal for families and snorkelers, with fringing coral reef visible near the rocky edges. The island ferry terminal and village amenities are steps away, making it a natural first stop for day-trippers and island-hoppers.
