Arthur Bay Lookout is a must visit spot and is one of the best viewpoints on the island to take in the natural beauty. It offers stunning panoramic views over the turquoise waters, large boulders, and fringing reef.

To get there, park at the Forts Walk car park or you can also get the bus (route 250) from the ferry terminal. From the carpark, follow the Radical Bay Road walking track for about 10–15 minutes. The trail is unsealed but relatively easy, leading to an incredible vantage point overlooking the bay. It's a must-visit stop on any Magnetic Island adventure.

You can keep following the track to the other bays such as Florence Bay, the stunning Radical Bay, Balding Bay, before finally ending up at Horseshoe Bay. This route is about 5.4km total and will take roughly 2 hours to complete.
