Hervey Bay is ideal for a family holiday. With 18kms of Esplanade to walk or cycle, numerous safe sand beaches to enjoy and covered BBQ areas by the beach, there is plenty to keep the whole family busy. Take in a movie at the cinema, have a game of tenpin bowl, join in the beach volleyball or visit the water slide just around the corner from Arlia Sands - the choice is yours. Early risers can take a walk on the beach and then join in the Tai Chi at Torquay Beach Park at 7am.

Or just sit back and relax in your apartment and choose from one of the many Austar channels.
