Elliott Heads
A peaceful seaside village at the mouth of the Elliott River, where the shallow river water suits family paddling, fishing and kayaking.
Elliott Heads lies about 18 km southeast of Bundaberg, where the Elliott River meets the sea, forming a calm river-mouth lagoon and a long sandy beach. The shallow water at the river mouth flows gently, making it ideal for children to paddle, kayak and fish. Lifeguards patrol one side of the beach in summer. A headland with a walking track and picnic area offers views along the coastline. It is quieter than Bargara and suits a relaxed half-day outing, or a stop on a scenic coastal driving route.
