๐Ÿ“– About The Strand

The Strand is Townsville's iconic 2.5-kilometre beachfront promenade stretching along the North Ward foreshore in tropical North Queensland, with sweeping views across to Magnetic Island. It offers netted swimming enclosures, a rockpool water park, a jetty, playgrounds, and a lively strip of restaurants and cafes, making it the social heart of the city. Daily lifeguard patrols and excellent facilities make it a year-round favourite for families, joggers, and paddleboard enthusiasts alike.
