Just a quick 20-minute ferry ride from Townsville, you'll find 'Maggie,' a local paradise where nature truly takes center stage. Spend your day exploring over 23 secluded bays and beaches, or tackle the famous Forts Walk—a 4km trail where you're almost guaranteed to spot a koala snoozing in a eucalyptus tree. For one of the best sunsets around, make your way to West Point with a picnic in tow; it's an unforgettable view back towards the mainland.
