The Fraser Coast is also renowned as a premier whale watching destination. From July to November, majestic humpback whales migrate along the coast, and Hervey Bay, known as the whale watching capital of Australia, provides the perfect vantage point to witness these awe-inspiring creatures up close.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find an array of activities to enjoy, from fishing and boating in the Great Sandy Strait to water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding. The region’s tranquil waters and diverse marine life offer endless opportunities for exploration and adventure.

For history buffs, the Fraser Coast showcases its rich heritage through beautifully preserved heritage buildings in towns like Maryborough. Visitors can delve into the past, discovering the birthplace of P.L. Travers, the author of Mary Poppins, or immersing themselves in the historical exhibits at the Hervey Bay Historical Village and Museum.
