Burnett Heads, Queensland

Burnett Heads is located close to Mon Repos Conservation Park and the Oaks surf beach, just 17 kilometres from the centre of Bundaberg. If perchance you are so inclined, at a secluded bay between those two sites there is an unofficial 'clothes-optional' beach.

At low tide, nearby Duchess Rocks has a display of soft coral and it's here where remnants of an ancient lava flow can be viewed. Snorkel or fish off the rock wall and then check out the marina to see how the other half lives.

The Port Marina, with a shipping chandlery as well as fine dining, is a meeting place for international yachties.
